I wanted to post on here and see if anyone has any Property management referrals in the Cleveland area.

With BTR duplexes, you're also investing in newly built homes that tend to have fewer maintenance issues.We’ve worked with out-of-state investors like yourself and would be happy to share more about our projects in Indianapolis.

Thanks for the referrals everyone!

Your personal experiences and referrals for dependable handymen will be highly valuable in ensuring my guests have a seamless and enjoyable stay.If you have any recommendations for insurance providers or handymen, I kindly request you to share them with me.

@Ankush R.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

But if you had a reasonable explanation - went back to W2 job, was taking care of a sick parent, lost your source of referrals, etc. - they should not fuss.

It tends to go one of two ways so.... 

Bathrooms and kitchen upgrades tend to add the most value relative to the money spent on rehabs.

We work with referral or repeat customers only and over 21 years in the business I can tell you 90% of the bad reviews are tenants who are unrealistic, owe money or some other problem that was caused by them but they want to blame the property manager.

I went to Penn State and location is certianly important but as long as you are a bus ride away, you will always find students to rent to at great rates, also I found that Graduate students tend to want to live further away, which of course means lower rents, but it also means that you have cheaper prices and graduate students tend to be a bit more tidy.
