They are billed as "a scientific approach to single-family rentals" and use "institutional grade property management," which usually means they are a tech company in real estate and likely either don't have the existing property management relationships in each area or you chose an area where they don't have enough units through Roofstock for the PM they chose to care.

In Phoenix, where I’m based, or in markets like San Antonio, the best realtors do more than just list properties.. they go “driving for dollars” to find oppurtunity, leverage their local networks (probate attorneys, CPAs, divorce attorneys) and carefully analyze each property’s cash flow.

I read it on realestate.com and Ark7.

However, since you put the asset into an LLC, I am going assume you care about asset protection and further this discussion just a bit.My advice to you is to seek out local banks where much of their business is derived from commercial lending.

This is one of the things that @Matthew Irish-Jones mentioned above - be careful about putting #3 on his list above #1 and #2.
