Kiavi is forever contacting me to bring them deals..

Contact each municipality for their process. 

But you can easily contact your servicer (who you send the monthly checks too) and they can assist. 

You also want a point of contact that knows underwriting too, that way they are proactive in ensuring your deal will get to the closing table.

I have some banking contacts in Ottumwa but they aren't interested in financing that far away.

I understand that AirDNA shouldn't be the sole source of data.

Always negotiable.Recommend you contact 2 other brokers to get quotes, so you know what the market is.

We also had to negotiate access agreements with both adjoining neighbors, which added nearly another $100k.Best of luck in your venture, feel free to contact me directly with any questions or if you would like me to pass along any of my resources.  

**I understand this data will vary market to market, I'm just looking for ballparks here.

First, get everything you can about your properties: leases, tenant contact info, etc.Then find a new PMC!
