I want to make sure they can close these types of transactions and are used to working with real estate investors...

A good PM can refer you to top sales agents in the market, they can tell you what type of rentals are in demand, they can tell you which areas are best for investments, and they can cross-check what the sales agent tells you about specific properties.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

It would definitely be fraud if this was the case, a recent post from an auctioneer talked about this exact situation, where they said the auctioneer was liable (different bedrooms/type of home example you don't have to read it) States would differ though and it doesn't seem black and white. https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/no-li...I do agree with you that it could very well lead to being burnt, however.

What type of properties are you looking to add to your portfolio?

Multifamily doesn't need any more pressure/demand since cap rates can really get low when too many people pile in, but I have to say that commercial real estate (including large MF) and other types of passive investing (mobile home parks, storage, etc.) can really make like much easier.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I'm interested in hearing what types of loan products your company offers.

what types of properties do you own currently? 

Sounds like the velocity banking stuff that was popular for a while.

Fascination in one type of market has led me to another, real estate investing, and now I'm looking to leverage my ability with numbers in the REI space as well.
