I'm a licenced Broker and I also handle project management for flippers, contractors, etc.FEMA 50% Rule: ALL of the homes that exist in a Flood Zone have a 50% limit on work that can be done to repair them without bringing them into compliance with current flood standards.

But for sure ahead of curve if any. 

The buildings are getting older and they don't have the funds to do the repairs.

Tenant screening often seems to get overlooked because landlords know the income is automatic, but the problem becomes the repairs and maintenance. 

You can certainly ask the agent who helped you purchase the property for advice too ;)Since you are using a PM to run things, I don't see any need to meet anyone except your PM and the contractor/handyman you plan on using for repairs/updates.

👏 Agree, this is the kind of data that can help you stay ahead of the curve.

Then do no repairs and sell the property to investors paying off the property in 5 yr's.

So as long as your insurance, property taxes, property management, utilities maintenance, repairs, vacancy, and capex come to $4/mo or less you’ll be fine.

The last thing you want is a brand that will take 2 weeks to get repaired if needed.We have Maytag units in our lake house and they have been rock steady for 7 years.

You already are way ahead because you are thinking relationships first, deals second.
