What I personally do is I will hire a local Civil engineer who has done subdivisions in the jurisdiction and I will pay them up front for a detailed feasibility study.

I am looking for pricing information from the BP community on how much should I expect to pay for replacement and installation of a new gas furnace.

Hi Mike,First, I want to emphasize that my intention was never to provide misleading information.

I’ve built strong relationships with agents, contractors, and other investors in the area, and one of my contacts informed me that the owner was considering selling but hadn’t listed the property yet.

The information contained in this post is not to be relied upon.

A PMC is the ONLY one that will deal daily with your property.Here's some copy & paste advice on hwo to screen PMCs: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.

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Through my journey I have gathered priceless information about the markets and maintained countless of connections including contractors, investors, agents and brokers.

Taking small, manageable steps now will help you make informed decisions when you're ready to invest.Good luck!

There is nothing magical about RE and nothing is secret.. the only thing I see that has really changed is how information is disseminated and transferred out to the public..
