I love the art of the deal,transacting, and not the management side of things.

Quote from @Glenn Cross: Create a maintenance schedule so you don't skip something.

Yes, you can do SDIRA buy a distressed property and rehab the property.BUT be aware of "Prohibited transactions" and  "disqualified person".

@B RyansRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I've used them (not sure if I can name, but starts with an R and ends with an A) on about 6 or 7 of my deals so far and its true 100%, no money down financing.The only catch is that they cross collateralize against other properties you own - including your primary residence.But they close and are very thorough.Their appraiser and rehab inspectors are very good too.

I've never personally worked on a transaction like this, but know folks who have.

Our cleaner sends invoices at the end of the month for all of the month's cleans, and we pay them via ACH (used to do Zelle until we got big enough that we started getting hit by Zelle transaction limits).This works great for the properties we own.

I see a tumble weed and a turtle off in the distance crossing the sun scorched sand lonely road in the desert.
