I’m currently doing research about up and coming areas such as this post as well as looking for local groups.

I currently work in the turnkey investment world helping investors create a real estate portfolio, if you are ever interested in trading different strategies and goals, I'd love to connect! 

The house I will get is in a lower income area, currently worth $95-100k, and she still owes about $25k on it.

Feel free to DM me if you'd like more insights on all this (we don't do biz in Alabama so got nothing to lose).Here's some other "copy & paste" advice on how to search for a better PMC:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Please give us updates on the current status.https://www.centurycommunities.com/globalassets/century/asse...

Switch Lenders: I’m currently working on refinancing (six other properties), so I’m thinking maybe I should take everything to another lender who might be a better fit.  

I currently have cameras, but they don’t give audio.  

If this is simply you not wanting to accept partial payments and the rent is current, stop accepting it - and send a Lease Violation/Notice of Quit for Non-Payment of Rent - and force the full rent to be paid per the lease or start eviction.  

If you are happy with your current PM, that is really fine.
