New shoes, ..to match the new outfit...?

And again, the local rental property investor gets the cash flowing in C-class neighborhoods, not B's and A's.If you are a local investor, and if you are the sort of small-time mom and pop outfit that handles most management and maintenance by itself, there are enormous opportunities lurking for you in Pittsburgh in what most agents and investors take for full-on war zones.

For whatever reason, a lot of the big PMI outfits have dropped their PMI rates in the last couple months.

I actually got $20,000 more by using this company VS a few other offers I received from not so credibility outfits.

Home Depot and Lowe’s are the best blend of price and convenience, but don’t underestimate the value of showing up to a local builder supply outfit and letting a knowledgable employee share some of their wisdom.

1) PARC - part of large turn key model2) BHB Management -Small company3) Real Property Management Indianapolis Edge - Rated well on Yelp (If their customers like them they will have time for you the owner)4) Axiom Property Management/Discover Properties To offer some value to those helpful I typically have tried to get PM with smaller Boutique outfits.

I think anyone would be Foolish to not get an inspection.I work with many builders in many states, including TX and none of them are big outfits like KB, etc.

So, if you are serious and have some experience, you can probably cut a few years off your business development trajectory, and save more than the $15-$20K fee by retaining this outfit.

There is a lot more to his labor burden then just what he pays his employees / hour.If you just using his numbers to analyze the property and you think he is high; use it as starting point or find smaller outfit to estimate the job.
