Opting in would have been preferable.

Hello, I am looking for a recommendation for a property manager (preferably an individual) who can manage multiple properties in the Cleveland, OH area. 

Although I would prefer to stay away from downtown or midtown.

They should have a preferred attorney and procedures on delinquent rent. 

My credit isn’t the best and I would not qualify for doing so looking to invest in Milwaukee or the Midwest area Would prefer to buy a hold, but would be interested in house flipping. 

I work in comp so I have no issues building my own but I'd prefer to simply use one that's already created.Finally, aside from reviewing prior projects on the company's website and scouring the internet for reviews, does anyone have any tips on how to select a given company?

Deciding whether to buy properties under your personal name or an LLC is an important consideration, especially when you're planning to use hard money and then refinance.Buying Under Your Personal Name: Easier Financing: Most banks prefer to lend to individuals rather than LLCs, especially for first-time investors.

Ideally, investing locally would totally be something we'd prefer to do.

And as a seller, I prefer to work with people I have sold to before.

The important language in your reply is "on their behalf" -- redirecting the principal's funds is not acting on their behalf.Seems to me the smartest/easiest way to deal with lender escrow accounts is to have that feature eliminated from the loan ASAP in the subto process... preferably immediately after an annual tax disbursement reduces the account balance to a low point.But yes, when the principal dies so does the power.
