I think that a concern of mines is what happens in the event of a performing note going non-performing. 

They want someone with eyes and ears onsite for you because you being that far away how do you know the work is being correctly performed?

If they try and back out and the closing date in the contract passes and they haven't performed, the title company has now satisfied their requirements to release that earnest money.

Some of them performing and others non performing at a deep discount. 

Because it really should be called Vacancy/Tenant nonPerformance+Damages.In ANY market, if you target the cheapest prices you will get the WORST: Neighborhoods, properties & tenants.Doesn't matter how smart you think you are or how hard you work, you will NOT get Class A performance from Class D!

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Since it sounds like your job is flexible and you can work remotely, explore the option of staying here for several weeks to perform your due diligence. 

Hi there, I'm curious if anyone knows of lenders that would let me perform a cashout refi without a seasoning period for me to be on title for 6 months. 

Of course, the wear and tear was through the roof and the water heater or HVAC never seemed to perform to his liking when it is summer and you have 14 breathing, walking talking 98.6F meat-sicles in the house warming it up.  

@Nicolette YorkRecommend 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.
