The best thing about setting up loans is not only do you make money (and cannot lose money)- perhaps the best thing is how much you learn as a loan rep (especially if you are new to real estate).

Either way far more cost effective than hiring a VA to skip trace which I did a few times and burned a hole in my wallet.

Insurance agents, title or attorney reps, lender, and general contractor and property manager!

I've spoken to the rep in Ashcroft and looks like they've seem to exhausted a lot of options before approaching us.

Hire a property manager.

Either an in house maintenance person with HVAC certification or you have to hire out subs for the various jobs.You can always contact PM companies and ask them what they budget per unit for maintenanceGino

Once you've scaled to 40-50+ units, then you could hire an in house PM and that could cut the costs. 

@John Arena you may want to review your property management contract in detail to understand what services you hire them to perform.We find that many STR PMCs are NOT really PMCs, but are Guest service companies. 

See if F-Street/The Hard Money Company is hiring. 

Otherwise, as @Nathan Gesner points out, it can be MORE expensive than hiring the right professional.ALSO:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?
