It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

All title companies work with alot of investors.

I was new to the SFR investment world, and it was important to me to work with company with good reputation that can act quickly.

If that is the case then I would say yeah work with an agent who has a solid reputation either here or from a friend referral.

For those that own property management companies can you give me any insight on what starting one up would look like and your honest opinions of the property management business these days.

I've been searching myself for 2 years now and have yet to find one good cold calling company, I've even tried to hire off upwork directly.

Larger company -- tried to escalate to the owner. 

Quote from @Christopher Lynch: I recently watched an episode of BiggerPockets where the guest discussed how he started a real estate investment company and buys commercial properties with 0% down.

@Steve Babiak, unless he registered with Pennsylvania as a contractor, he would not show up on there, the company as the OP stated is from NJ where he would be registered. he should be registered in PA if he is doing work there, so i agree, he should have shown up on those sites, i am a contractor in NJ but do not do work in PA, not even my own properties, so i do not show up on those sites.

New realtors, new realty companies, new PMs aren't going to have those established relationships and *no* PMs give up the names of their people to anyone else because getting good people is difficult.
