Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

There's plenty of information on how to find a good market with a quality property manager.

@David LewisRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

That is in the contract as a deterrent to prevent an owner from using our services to find a high-quality resident and then moving the management, thereby hurting our reputation with the residential community.

Each property should be evaluated based on its characteristics and overall quality as an investment.

@Alec Barnes As the owner of a property management company in Texas, I completely agree that a solid screening process is essential for placing quality tenants.

We didn't know the siding needed to be replaced because it was just recently replaced by the owner before selling it to us, but probably with bad quality paint/siding.
