@Rafael Valdor some advice when screening PMCs-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Just make sure all pieces are accounted for regularly.

He's been out a long time and updates the information regularly based on the market and new applications & tools.

Oh look, you get to deduct your cell phone, your internet, your tax prep, all kinds of other things regular people don’t. 

If you find a PM that you like, ask if they have any Realtors they could refer you to that work closely with them.

I'm happy to refer you to a company that helped setup mine.

Most MTRs in my area include utilities, but my California property has very high utility costs (PG&E - could easily be $1000/month with regular AC/heat use).

I'd much prefer to put $60K on a down payment and closing costs so I have $50K to fix it up.So a couple of questions: 1) Am I mistaken in thinking those kind of lower down payment products are out there for regular folks like us? 

in our area that is a real big deal.. we did another demo and left a few pieces of flooring an inspector came on our job determined they had asbestos in them and we violated taking asbestos items to the regular land fill.. that cost me 19k in fines and 18k in lawyer fees to keep the fines from being really big..

Midtown refers to a specific area and it's quite desirable. 1/1 MTRs would do well here IMO.
