If your prospective property manager cannot provide a number of references for you, consider it a red flag.2.

@Brian Weiner Not any of those neighborhoods specifically, but I believe his neighborhood that he did the flip in is called Red Cedar.

One could have a hundred doors, but is in the red each month.

If they push back on this or do not have clients could be a red flag.Lastly estimates can go up.

Anyway, code enforcement asked to see the inside of the apartment & i agreed as i was doing some improvements inside like painting etc.....afterwards he nailed a red tag to my wall which i didnt pay much attention to because I was literally unaware of what it was or what it meant.

But my risk/reward needle for me personally is in the red for the overall economy for the next several years. 

Drove by the California Green Line stop yesterday and the houses look beautiful but so much news out of E.
