Though I did choose to continue with the suggested property management company of the area, I was able to find different lenders that suited my needs better.Overall the process was very easy, much easier than I thought it would be.

If you are someone who has a bigger portfolio that you manage I would suggest appfolio or yardi.  

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

I am very new and am open to any and all suggestions/help. 

I’m looking to do a 1031 Ex w 300k down and 650 purchase price can anyone suggest areas that might cash flow w these numbers ???

Any suggestions for this? 

There’s a lot of great suggestions in this post.

I would suggest giving it up and just hire an agent when you are ready to transact in the future.
