Excited to join BP and meet with like minded investors! 

Meeting strangers at a vacant property is always a gamble also.  

I joined NCREIA and went to my first meeting on Tuesday.

We meet with the tenants at our office.

A key step is also meeting with the City and/or all entities who are involved in permitting. 

@Heidi Fahringer wasted time doing several calls and then a meeting with a CPA and then got shocked with their proposed fee.After even more wasted time trying to find out from them why the fee was 10x what I had been paying - a lightbulb in my head finally lit up and I asked the revealing question and found they had a minimum charge.Obviously, we were not a fit.

MadisonWhy It's Hot: Located just 15 minutes north of downtown, Madison is a neighborhood where affordability meets opportunity.

@Randall Ayers By coincidence I was at a market update meeting this afternoon and a presenter was a hard money lender in Arizona and...wait for it...Colorado.

So be careful and make sure you interview the Expediter and that they have had success in obtaining the Letter of No Objection.As far as evidence that you need to gather, look up your buildings TAX Class.You will find it here: Building Information SearchHere you will see something that looks like this:NOTE that while this is a Dept of Buildings Web Portal, what I have circled in RED is the Department of FINANCE Building Classification.You may not have a CofO, but the Dept of Finance maybe taxing you as a 2 Family.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
