The thing I have found is that the buyer client focuses mainly on "lowest rate"...sometimes, they choose a large national lender that advertises on TV, or through their work (military), or some other outlet touting "best in customer service, etc"...In my experience, the large national lenders often slow down the purchase process, or get to a few days before closing and decide that "no, they don't intend to finance the loan because buyer has xyz in their history".  

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

I am actually teaching a series on how to flip properties this month. 

The joke was on him though I was almost broke and just made out my credit cards to pay for a new washer and dryer I had to replace due to his negligence.I can’t say I have not become slightly emotional on a collection call from time to time when I see new cars, new furniture, satellite TV, and no rent payments but… I’m not a perfect person.Alas, in the end RE has been good to me and I’m not about to break my moral code because someone else has no moral code.

Similar to picking phone service or tv etc some are cheaper than others.

If you know nothing about plumbing, you might want to learn from this guy that is charging you so much.Everything on TV is not as it seems.At times the DYI guy can save bucks.

Honestly, I would hold onto my property because if hyperinflation does occur, that $300k you made off the sale might not buy you much more than a TV.

Also, John Maxwell does a Youtube series that has a lot of great information about the property management side of things (what I do) if you're interested in learning more. 

My wife and I just opened up a series LLC here in Texas for the purpose of renting out the first home we bought and lived in and recently moved out of. 

I have noticed that a lot of these youtube gurus such as Max Maxwell and Flipping Mastery TV(Jerry Norton)  have somewhat high subscriber counts, both over 100k but each video gets only around 10k views.
