As a lender, it is my firm belief that honesty, transparency and service are the most important factors.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loans, which are popular for investors, may see changes that limit their accessibility.

You might hire a property manager, use a co-hosting service, or build your own team (like I did!).

Customer service from a support perspective matters of course, but no hang up or delays on investing would take place.

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!

Still, we appreciate you and the entire REI team for your support and excellent service.
