Quote from @Matt Meier: If I were to do this, wouldn't the lender lose out on their commission? 

My recommendation to serious real estate investors is buy an opportunity in any segment, do the math (it's all about the ROI; some investors fall for the 'commercial' is more prestigious chest thump to find that losing money isn't very prestigious at all), and plan on proactively running a business. 

The buyer was happy that I recovered her money in full that she wasn't even mad about losing the deal.  

I’ve watched investors lose momentum by sticking to a single city’s slower regulations when a neighboring municipality was more open to new builds.

Learning that the slower I move, the more money I lose.

Just like doubling down on a bet you could lose it all. 

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.

Nobody plans to lose their property.

You can still lose your investment in the LLC.

@Hedman Maximus too many investors worry about DIY pennies, while losing dollars - which it seems you may be doing.Why can't you hire a PMC to handle the properties for you?
