I have a GREAT rolodex of folks if you need connections. 

I don’t know how much initial equity but if your guess is right 10 cents on the dollar is about right. 

Yeah I just need to get some different viewpoints on underwriting and then actually do it myself a couple times a week. 

The childhood home needs quite a bit of work but I couldn't really guess how much.

You need a solid proven system to find the deals.  

You should fire them right away and talk to an attorney to prevent the loss, but I wouldn't expect much and it could be a waste since a company that does this will not have the money to do anything.When you have just one unit and you are looking for PM companies, your options are the bottom of the barrel because it's not a good use of the big one's time.

Hope your next steps are much more smooth and you can take those lessons and turn them in to gold. 

You need to look at return on equity, how much cash flow can be generated putting your equity to work vs the cash flow this property will produce.

You don't need to find the best city to invest in the US.

Though I did choose to continue with the suggested property management company of the area, I was able to find different lenders that suited my needs better.Overall the process was very easy, much easier than I thought it would be.
