Many are just following the practices they’ve been taught (although if you choose dishonesty, some responsibility does lie with you too).For any wholesalers interested in learning how we approach wholesaling ethically, just let me know, and I’ll gladly share a detailed post on it here.

Almost everyone has their focus on spotting low prices.

hey tim, i should have been more clear. i will be doing all of the property management per se, just looking for an organizational tool via an app or software that will consolidate the communication for my duties. i only have one out of state property and just dont think the amount paid is worth the relatively low stress of this specific quality property and tenant pool. i will look into stessa and buildium- thank you for the recs!

Most importantly you can refine your phone technique at a low cost.

If you choose to explain exactly what proof you need, you will soon get it. 

For you're first investment, choose your home market, if you can make it work.

But I agree with an above poster that $10 psf in tenant improvement seems low, unless you can find a turn-key tenant to occupy that will require very little renovation.In DFW, for 2nd generation spaces, I've seen LLs underwrite at about $25-35 psf in expected TI allowance (subject to the lease terms and tenant credit rating).  

Regarding PMCs that charge flat fees, many charge those "low" fees whether a property is vacant or occupied, tenant paying or not.-- This doesn't really align the PMC's interests with the owners:(Regarding why it's taking so long for your PMC to get your property RentReady - how are they making MORE money by taking longer?

It really depends on who you choose.
