The CRIM is a good place to start, but be prepared to wait in line or not get good customer service.

I can’t speak to this place but, when dealing with border towns in general, I would find and ask a customs and border patrol agent what they think of the areas. 

I'm particularly passionate about building custom homes and using  the BRRRR method.Outside of real estate, I enjoy ATV riding, playing soccer and basketball and also traveling the world and connecting with new people.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

To me this is simple customer service, and how I would want to be treated if I were a renter.Just my 2 cents.Ice maker parts.

None were accepted yet, so learned a ton and happy to walk away from a few deals that weren't going to give me the return I wanted, or had big issues (e.g. septic - I decided to stay away from septic if at all possible)*Taking the time to encourage a friend who knows nothing at all about REI to take his first steps.

@David O'Sullivan JrRecommend 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.

To become a successful real estate investor, learn through books, find a mentor, start small, diversify, set clear goals, stay financially prudent, obtain a real estate license, encourage persistence, take breaks, and celebrate small wins.

Make sure you are only doing things that you 100% know how to do.If you are in the Houston area I would highly encourage you to get plugged in to the real estate investor groups that are in that city.  

I’m wondering if using Customer instead of Class would work, thereby allowing the less expensive Simple Start or Essentials versions to be used.As a private lender I’ve been using Customer for borrower and Job for each borrower loan … seems to work.
