Is this how it works, wanted to know from people who have their star’s managed my property management company?

my last post on this subject.I ran into a small company  6 folks involved  boy friend girl friends  they read rich dad book then went to a guru presentation and learned about wrapping notes which of course is the bizz model your talking about.

Hi All,  I've had several rolled roofs installed and never saw anything like this. 

@Eamon ConheadyThis sucksFor anyone reading this, it’s important to always use a 3rd party escrow company and send any monies to them.

Keep in mind this is a self-directed account and most are not.  

@Stacey OlsonRecommend 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.

For most, this isn't a realistic option so they update some of the most important regions themselves and copy the data from other providers where they don't have coverage.This is a big problem with these big consumer-grade real estate analytics platforms—you don't really know the source of that data, its frequency, etc.

Quote from @Ritesh Keskar: Just found this old discussion thread.

Any ideas on how to handle this?     

Hi Irene,I had a client that did this with a home and a barndominium next door.
