I would love to connect with reputable REI friendly Property Managers, Real Estate Brokers, Contractors etc., in Pennsylvania.  

“There were some really bad guys.”Crisis and Consequences Ten years ago, Lehman Brothers collapsed.

So most newbies quickly turn to trying to flip houses off the MLS and not only don't they make any money but they ruin their reputation with every investor in town before they even get started.

I've been self-managing since I purchased, but would like to find a reputable and recommended property management company to take over.

Can someone help me out understanding the full consequences of a cash out refi? 

You could shop around on that quote you got but only to reputable companies.

@Carlos PenaYes, either buyer or seller can "change mind" after signing contract.However, contracts are legally binding so there are consequences if both parties don't agree to the change, usually financial penalties.Check with your local real estate attorney to know what the consequences are with your particular contract and whether it is worth your time and expense to enforce the contract as signed.

If they provide reputable properties for a good price, and they cash flow, I don't see a reason why you can't make the purchase from overseas.

This includes gaining an idea of possible Title Companies, reputable attorneys, and potential buyers.

Depending on the relationship you have with your tenants, you may get threats, etc. but they don't have any standing against you.Aside from renovating the kitchen:I would definitely have the HVAC checked and serviced by a reputable company in your area.
