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!

For crowdsource investments on Republic, StartEngine, etc there's a great resource called Kingscrowd that reviews each investment offering and gives details and ratings on the team behind the project.

I have a Youtube link in my profile with some tips and would be happy to have a call sometime to discuss your wants and needs out of an investment property.

This is called OPM - other people’s money.

I’d revisit the pricing, happy to go over it on a phone call if you would prefer.

We had a call set up for a Monday in December and by Friday we found the house we wanted to purchase through them. 

I cold call and go direct to the seller and I have a 3 person team that pretty much just calls all day long for me.

Just a suggestion for after you call or go in person - send the person a follow up email with a recap of what they told you.

Though at 1525/mth it is projected to cashflow a little less than 100/mth  -- the numbers do not include what I like to call reality numbers (vacancy loss, maintenance, capex reserves).
