Haven't walked a property in years and just did one with my team a few weeks ago.I forgot the thrill of seeing these things derelict and then fixing them up.What a pleasure to see the transformation.What started as a simple dream for me of moving to the US and buying, fixing, holding a few properties and moving back to Australia turned into thousands of rehabs, many companies, staff and monsters with 17 heads lolIt's nice going back to the basics of how it all began.Just simply checking out distressed properties, negotiating, buying and fixing them up.Ahhhh, the good old days 🙏

Different companies have different fees and - more importantly - not all managers are created equal.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Quote from @Sonja Revells: @Chris Seveney primarily Padsplits  I would speak to a few lenders first before going through all these hoops, as I started to do this then when talking to banks they were basically telling me either get a secured mortgage as they will not lend to a real estate company on unsecured credit/debt.

But, the timing was harder on the next one where I was out of state and negotiating my employment contract with the company that acquired the startup I'd worked at for over 5 years.

If you have a management company be sure to underwrite their fees as well.  

To say I'm very frustrated with this company is an understatement. 

Hey Sarah, We have a property management company in Waterville, Augusta, Skowhegan (Standard Management Company).

Other methods:Real estate agent: Ask a local real estate agent for help Title company: Contact a title company for a more comprehensive property search Online property search platforms: Use specialized websites that offer property owner lookups.

I inquired about the possibility of a two-company structure: A traditional LLC that is the public face of the activities (collecting rents, paying contractors, etc.) and managing the Series LLC with each property in once cell in it (in this case, Series LLC is serving as a holding role).Again, one attorney said that would be much better than a standalone LLC and that is recommended approach, and the other said it is waste of time and money since there are some requirements from Texas Real Estate Commission, which is requiring being a licensed broker in the state to operate in the managing LLC.So, just want to hear what other Texas investors are doing when it comes to series LLCs regarding these issues. 

I was able to pay the sellers mortgage company directly that had a 4% interest rate.
