To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Personally not a fan of out of state BRRRR.I think it's a recipe for disaster and having been in the game for 10+ years, I've seen the disaster first hand as I bought hundreds of deals from disgruntled out of state investors who thought they can do it themselves.My property management company has doubled in 12 months also due to out of state investors getting caught with a poor property manager when trying to do it themselves from afar so they come to us for help 🤷‍♂️I'm seeing many investors buying D class crap on the MLS for too much and that needs work.They end up being into the property for 30% more than they would be that if they just bought turnkey.A true turnkey provider will find the cheapest/best deals through a variety of acquisition methods, renovate well and sell for fair market value (And manage in-house).If things go South, they are solely to blame and the penny drops with them.But with DIY, who is to blame?
