The other quesiton i have is if private equity is starting to get involved in this market, companies like Apollo & Carlyle, does that change your feelings about getting involved in the space?

Alimentation Couche-Tard, the parent company of Circle K, has made an unsolicited offer to acquire Seven & I Holdings, the owner of 7-Eleven.

Does anyone happen to have companies or referrals for Prop Mgmt and Rehab in Richmond, Indiana?

Other companies people use are SNSC, FCI, Landhome, Homekey and others.That would be your best bet.

I've considered a property management company, but the cost just doesn't seem worth it although it would be convenient.

Quote from @Arshiya Taami: I am planning on purchasing a profitable business with its real estate included in florida and the dscr is 1.85. the problem is im just short of 600k for the down payment. that being said, can anyone provide me any reputable loan companies that will offer bridge loans and what their requirements are. thank you in advance! 

I currently pay a premium price for my turnovers for a local cleaning company that specializes in STRs.

His bank was in a state like Indiana, while one of his companies is in Wyoming, and just all sorts of weird sketchy stuff that accumulated over the period working with him.

I'm also relatively young and interested in some more "challenging" investments (although recognizing that I would have to do everything remotely and source through a property management company like yours).

Don't solely rely on third-party management companies; instead, focus on building a solid asset management plan and, if needed, bring in experts or partners who excel in this field.
