@Paola AstridRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

BP has built a great selection, all of them worth reading and that will help you build foundational knowledge.To answer this one: the words from old school investor Dolf De Roos "seldom sell" and you will find a lot of post on BP from people who regret selling properties in the past.

Post on Craigslist seems like another 'guru' but I cannot put my finger on it, he seems to be following Cherif method, not sure what to make of it.

However, when I reviewed the property information on the PVA website, the records indicate it is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property, excluding the 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom located downstairs.

Hey Jerryll,Apologies as well, to clarify my post, the property is currently still with the owner (off-market) and I reference the information on the MLS since it is the information that's currently available to the public, so just providing a frame of reference to support the info in my post.

Market might be competitive but there is angles to stand out depending on what you are comfortable and able to handle, such as waiving an appraisal contingency, limitng inspection rights and time frames, closing time frames, allowing seller to stay-post closing, taking on difficult tenants, buying properties that might need repairs, etc.

I’d love some information. 

I’d be interested in keeping up with this post.

(Interesting that I just came across this old post for the first time.)I’ve used Jerry Feeney’s e1031xchange multiple times.

Looking for more information in regard to assuming a VA Loan from someone.
