I talk to a lot of investors, and everyone has unique criteria.

I also love to hear Didier recognized our unique ability to go up to 95% of the value of the home!

I understand everyone's situation is unique and dishing out a couple extra hundred dollars a month on a rental property is certainly not on everyone's agenda or even doable, but I wonder how many others are thinking this way in the short term?

We’re willing to BRRR so numbers will work & are willing to pay more for multi-cabin and/or super unique properties.  

If however you don't have good credit, the scenario is unique, or you are getting denied by several lenders, I would recommend working with a broker.

What I have seen before is "selective enforcement" practices from some management companies.

Let's explore some effective approaches for managing investment properties:With a Property Manager:Screening and Selecting Tenants: Entrust your property manager to handle tenant screening, background checks, and selection, ensuring reliable renters for your investment.Rent Collection: Property managers can ensure timely rent collection and handle any late payments or lease violations professionally.Maintenance and Repairs: Delegate routine maintenance tasks and repairs to your property manager, who can coordinate with contractors and vendors to keep your property in top condition.Tenant Relations: Property managers serve as the primary point of contact for tenants, addressing their concerns and ensuring a positive rental experience.Lease Enforcement and Evictions: Trust your property manager to enforce lease terms and handle the eviction process if necessary, following legal procedures.Financial Management: Property managers can handle financial tasks such as budgeting, accounting, and financial reporting, providing you with regular updates on property performance.Without a Property Manager:Self-Management: Take on the responsibility of managing the property yourself, handling tasks such as advertising vacancies, screening tenants, and collecting rent.Outsourcing Specific Tasks: While not hiring a full-time property manager, consider outsourcing tasks like maintenance and repairs to trusted contractors or service providers.Utilizing Technology: Leverage property management software and online platforms to streamline processes such as rent collection, lease management, and maintenance requests.Establishing Clear Policies: Set clear policies and procedures for tenants regarding rent payments, maintenance requests, and lease terms to minimize conflicts and misunderstandings.Regular Inspections: Conduct regular inspections of the property to identify maintenance issues or lease violations early on and address them promptly.Building Relationships: Maintain open communication and positive relationships with tenants to foster a sense of community and encourage better care of the property.Whether you choose to hire a property manager or manage the property yourself, effective communication, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to property management are key to maximizing returns and maintaining the value of your investment.

It will ask you for a nickname before you connect (tip: try to choose a unique name otherwise the system may auto-change it for you if it's currently being used).  

You don't have much margin for error if the estimates are off.I would not want in on this deal unless this was a super unique property that has room to improve the numbers.

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.
