As for finding a contractor, asking local investors for recommendations is a great start.

Looking forward to working and meeting everyone both local and non. 

I'd ask for referrals, and reach out to some local folks and see what is working and not.Best of luck!

I'm local to Richmond, and work downtown, would love to connect.

(Hint - go on VRBO and see what your local competition is charging). 2) How much do you intend to put down?

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

We're going to start attending local meet-ups again and stay active.

I'm local and looking to see if anyone is nearby and wondering some things like how well BRRRR might work in our market (my feeling is not as well as others).Look forward to getting to know you!

You can even connect with local HR teams and offer small referral bonuses to get more bookings.

@Kris Lou Many factors go into PMC pricing:1) Locality (city/state)2) Neighborhood & Property Class (time to manage Class A < Class B < Class C < Class D)3) Property condition (slumlord properties hard to manage)4) Number of units (some economies of scale, but not as much as owners think)5) Owner expectations (some owners really want a personal assistant!)
