@Britney Lewin I think it's great you have the chance to go in many areas, but finding a property while searching a very wide area can be tough.

Like there is a federal law that allows owners of 1 to 4 units that live in the property to not have to adhere to the rules of tenant selection..

Yes, we do have good success because the property selection is based on data and analytics not our opinion.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

In the sales contract the option to limit the seller to retaining the deposit instead of suing for liquidated damages is usually selected.

What to Stay Away From: Are there any red flags or pitfalls that I should be mindful of when selecting properties to flip? 

It was a simple selection and scheduling process.

Ultimately I'm looking for a cohort of people with a wide range of experience in real estate. 

The varied opinions means that you can sort through and select the ones that suits you best. 

That’s a pretty wide net your casting.
