CT is 1-2 hour drive from my location depending on the town and is manageable for one project.

Remove caulk depending on condition could take 1/2 hour.

I used a property manager (before I was one) for (1) time & headache savings and (2) the value the property managers provide by economies of scale (marketing, discounts with vendors, etc.).

If you like impacting the nation by providing affordable housing you can really put people in houses here.

Our job is to provide you assistance. 

Partner Driven provided market expertise and handled the logistics for a rapid flip.

It can be trained to provide an initial analysis but I agree, nothing replaces expertise and sound underwriting. 

I find that depending on the market $300-500/mo are fairly normal and if compared to what you would pay with a single family home on some utilities, maintenance, and management, it's a good deal.

If you hire someone typically they are the ones providing this information, but if someone is paying you, then yes they need this information for tax purposes.BTW - I would say your SS# has been hacked so many times and is on the black market already this is why we monitor ours through other parties or just lock it down at experian and other agencies if you are concerned about it.

Processes have been set up to provide a degree of protection to parties  involved in subject to transactions.
