Look into MLS deal finder - Texas based outfit. 

i agree with you on all the point s you raised but I don't have any suggestions on how to solve the problem other than keep looking (and hoping that there are at least A FEW customer oriented outfits in the area).

When smaller commercial outfits like these pop up, and it becomes hip to redo historic commercial buildings, the residential communities surrounding these are the big winners. 

Frank Ruopoli Look on BP, spend 20 minutes on Google, read articles from (theoretically) neutral outfits like this:http//www.cleveland.com/consumeraffairs/index.ssf/2012/08/a_flurry_of_alerts_about_trave.htmlPersonally, I think it's odd hearing about these programs on radio ads during radio shows put on my "professional gamblers" that tell you that they "have a system".

i know the big players , but i would rather have a smaller outfit or a semi-retired maintenance person . i am mostly just tired of the calls on maintenance stuff  more than anything :(

I'd reach out to them or an outfit like them.

I will try to give you a reference point:TK_A:Sale Price to investor $75.9K (Base on 1% rent rule $750 PM)TK_A Purchase Price $13K + $25K (Rehab on higher side)TK_A - Estimated Appraisal $55KInvestor Fund : 25% down = $14K (Higher due to war Zone) + $4K- $6K Closing Cost+ $21K (Cash difference in ARV and Selling Price) = $39K - $41K(Zillow Estimate today - $60K)TK_B - Similar House $59.9KYou may add $4K to $6K if you go through some marketing outfit.

Yesterday, they called stating some outfit wants 10K for a three day seminar on HML.

I receive updates about Memphis Invest regularly, and intend for my first turnkey property to be with your outfit.

Assuming you are not a high volume outfit I think it is a much cheaper option.
