Hi fellow BP'sHas anyone used or know of any feed back from other whether good or bad about Global Mortgage Group and their US subsidiary American Mortgages?

Also once I get the LLC for the holdings company I will also be getting a subsidiary LLC to begin investing.

In our experience, this is the biggest challenge owners & PMC's have.Here's our copy & paste about it:Maintenance ChargesCommon: owner agrees in contract that PMC can perform work without owner approval up to a certain threshold (Example $500) or in an emergency.Questionable: owner doesn’t find out about charges below threshold until they get their monthly statement.Hourly – PMC bills at hourly rate depending on type of ServiceTech sentEXAMPLE: Owner billed at $65/hour for handyman workMarkup is hidden in that rate as highly unlikely PMC is paying their handyman the whole $65/hour.PMC or a subsidiary billing – PMC submits bill from their companyEXAMPLE: Owner receives a bill for licensed HVAC work on PMC form.Owner does not get the licensed mechanical contractor bill, so has no idea of PMC hidden markupTransparent – original bills from all contractors sent to owner, PMC charges a pre-approved markup for their time to handle.EXAMPLE: Owner receives a bill for licensed HVAC work on contractor’s form.Only challenge is some PMC’s get illegal kickbacks from contractors owners don’t seeThere are then many different IF -> THEN fees to cover evictions, emergencies, filing insurance claims, etc.WARNING: never assume you won’t be charged for something unless it states so in the management contract!

Ocwen is a mortgage servicer, I believe Hubzu used to be a subsidiary business of Ocwen and was spunoff or something like that.

Contracts can be let (given)  to related parties, subsidiaries or just the good ole boys who can stick it to the HOA.

They have their own network, strong customer base and are not likely going away anytime soon.Boost Mobile is a tier two provider and a subsidiary of Sprint.
