A good PM can refer you to top sales agents in the market, they can tell you what type of rentals are in demand, they can tell you which areas are best for investments, and they can cross-check what the sales agent tells you about specific properties.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

whats traditionally referred to as "DSCR" loans are not going to be eligible in non-state territories unfortunately

For reference, Dallas will show something like 26% chance of high winds (3 seconds with wind speeds above 50 MPH) in the next 30 years, for most available properties. 

Are you referring to the company e1031xchange?

Are you referring to personal losses or other people had losses?

3.Rent schedule available, as well as lease and income reported to the IRS4.Not sure by what you mean doing it through the city, are referring to rehab permits?  

I think what you’re referring to is a checkbook IRA so you can bypass the custodian when performing transactions/investing and all assets/accounts will be held in the name of a special purpose LLC or Trust which is the instrument that gives you checkbook control.  

.: It doesn't sound all that bad to be honest Property manager fees sound similar - for reference mine is 1st months rent plus 10% of gross income per month.

@Tannia CastroRecommend 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'm happy to help in any way I can if you need any lender, broker, contractor references etc etc
