@Amanda Gauthier we work with a lot of real estate investors who provide us with intel on who the great property managers are - would be happy to share this unbiased feedback to help you avoid this situation.

If you are out-of-state, your contractor is not your eyes, you need a local unbiased friend.5.

The net result is, I think, still positive for the community when real, unbiased investors (even naive new ones) post truthfully about their experiences.

You’re NEVER going to get an UNBIASED opinion from someone whose income depends on selling something.  

This page has been the best source of unbiased feedback and this is limited too.  

They will be the ones who give unbiased opinions and steer you in the right direction.

Quote from @Brett Jurgens: @Don Konipol not out of the air, based on my own rental and a few hundred others we've done at Net Energy in 8 states.Brett, if you’re representing a business we need to know that upfront so we can understand that your post is actually an advertisement for your business and not an unbiased opinion that we can rely on.  

I'm in Europe now and can't travel to Texas, is there a service that I can hire, someone unbiased who will go inspect the property for me?

It might be helpful to find an unbiased party you trust to help you.

I say biased, because it seems fair and unbiased reporting is a thing of the past.
