They seemed good, and looks like they have prior experience managing the building I’m buying (based off the leases that were submitted to me) but way to expensive to what I’m use to … $137 - $184 per door (over 10%) and then $750 per door for the maintenance reserve. 

Building wealth quickly is not an enjoyable experience—you have to go through some pain to experience the reward at the end.Trust me, from personal experience: the quicker the wealth building = the more pain.

I have an associates in human services but I am wanting/ willing to get experience where I can learn more of the ins and outs of real estate whether it be loans, property managment, etc.

Has anyone had any experience with their repair services?

It's important to me to know other like-minded people with similar goals, who are going through similar things...so I would love to meet some other Cleveland investors to hear about your portfolios and experiences in Cleveland (especially those in the 44102 zip). 

@Scott Lorence make sure you find a PMC that has experience dealing with college rentals. 

I have over 8 years of experience in Michigan’s real estate market and am excited to connect with others as I transition to Texas.

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 have seen REI Hub recommended on here, but I am unsure of their ability to work with local banks, so if anyone has any experience they can speak of that would be greatly appreciated.  

It tough to compete with you experiences folks!
