If you would like a few references to property management companies within the city that are local I have a few recommendations. 

Recommend you have a great understanding of the answers to these questions before thinking about a lawsuit.You'll also want to use these questions as discussion points with any new PMC you interview.If you post the address, everyone here will be able to give you more feedback about the quality of the listing and perhaps more insights.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I’m new to wholesaling and looking to learn more about the Des Moines, Iowa market. I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience in this area.

My recommendation is before chasing all these real estate deals is to go earn and save some money so when a good deal comes a long you can take action and move on it. 

Are there strategies, financing tips, or resources you’d recommend for someone in my position?

To have a successful STR I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode of a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id161508...Once you listen to this, and any highly involved STR operator will agree, you will find a lot of the fundamentals are lacking in Kissimmee or you have to have deep pockets to hit those.I won't spoil the episode, but if you listen to it (and anyone out there that does) feel free to DM me afterward and I'd be happy to talk details tailored to your situation on if you're on the right path or maybe I can help.

I have never pulled a permit for a water heater swap, know no one that has ever pulled a permit for a water heater swap, ever seen or heard about one getting red tagged for no permit, and have never had a plumber recommend getting a permit.
