Happy to connect, I'm with a design & architecture firm in Florida.

The home owner has listed the house at 140k, as they do owe 2 years worth of taxes and are eager to sell. 

I agree, I think design build firms are a little better than just GC 

None of the names listed above appear to be pivoting into the homeowner association space, yet here in the northeast USA it's still quite a fragmented industry outside of the major urban centers with established and deep-pocketed PM firms. 

I'm eager to learn from your experiences—what strategies or processes do you use to determine expense figures in your market?

I agree with @Michael Plaks that the pricing should be discussed prior to the start of the engagement.My firm does not like the hourly invoice method because I find it can potentially cause anxiety to clients who may not know the final price.if you were a nice client and paid an hourly fee, maybe there was a lot of time towards 'setting' you up as a client(inputting your properties, prior year carryforwards, depreciation schedule, etc) which won't be a cost for you going forward.Best of luck.

I’m eager to expand my network and forge profitable, long-term business relationships.

I'm also eager to learn from all of you experienced investors out there!

I have a management firm that has filed the necessary paperwork and received a judgment, but it is apparently a time consuming process to then get a writ of restitution and then to schedule the sheriff to evict.

Hi Everyone, I'm eager to learn from experienced professionals in the Hard Money Lending space.
