Sure, it can be quite a process, but with experience and a growing network, it does become more manageable.Let's go!

That experience taught me the importance of leaning on local expertise, even if it feels like an unnecessary expense at first.One strategy I’ve seen work occasionally is offering the tenant a “cash for keys” deal, where you pay them a small amount to vacate voluntarily.

I am a CPA with over 25 years of experience. 

I was determined and wanted something that I could sustain for the long term for my family's livelihood and control the effort I put in and the results I got from that effort.I specialize in sourcing properties for fix and flip investors nationwide (wholesaling, but with real-world experience and closed profitable deals for myself and my investor partners) with a roadmap to acquire rental properties as finances permit.A lot of our deals are currently coming through organic search as I have a background in substantial traffic generation through search engine optimization and organic means.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I believe people are made stronger when they experience difficulty and have to make their own pat.

These experiences highlighted the need for thorough inspections and budgeting for contingencies when tackling older properties.
