Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

They would be putting in some money and their service as sweat equity, and we would be putting up money and my wife’s services. 

I went back to Memphis last year for the first time in six years to find all is as advertised with very minor exceptions.We have picture inspections done every four months, cost $75, because I'm a trust but verify guy.Good people, good service.   

More traps, patch up holes, tell your tenants to be extra clean when dealing with food. 

Consider cleaning, lawn care, snow removal and supplies as well as utilities  in your calculations.  

There are some great suggestions here on down payment, interest rate, servicing, and underwriting the borrower.  

Also, if anyone knows of any other background check services that are more reliable please let me know.

This is not only my experience, but when you call VRBO or Airbnb customer service, they will tell you the same thing.  

Additionally, in Co-Living the property manager walks the property once per month to deliver toilet paper & cleaning supplies (aka property inspection).

If we are right we clean up in 2026.
