The property had foundation work done just prior to the sale but continued having problems, even after I hired a second contractor to correct.

The one thing it had going for it was actually talking to a person but it’s also costly and takes time to hire and train a team, only for many calls to go nowhere.Lately, as an investor I’ve been using an AI that’s been way more effective than I expected.

Hired hourly handyman and friends to assist me in upgrades of windows, door, cabinets, basically all new fixtures in 12/2009.

This is my personal opinion, which probably won't be popular.If you are worried about the cost of hiring an attorney to create a proper operating agreement for your LLC, you probably don't need an LLC, and if you choose to use an online site to create an LLC, you probably get the protection you paid for.

Even when we became work optional, we still (wife and I) took on another live in flip, got part time jobs, starting cleaning our STRs ourselves rather than hiring cleaners (we're going to stop doing that this summer).

Contact my friends at HomeHop Property Management. www.homehoppm.comTalk to Dan, they have a in house designer, who you can hire. 

Based on your response, I probably need to hire someone just for the Open Houses who is available multiple days per month.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

I personally think they are a good company (that's why I hired them) but they may be too 'busy' for small fish like us.

Lastly, be sure you hire a good securities attorney.
