Building a reliable network of contractors is one of my main goals for this year to help me scale up moving forward.

A good property manager who knows Memphis well, a reliable contractor, and an experienced agent who specializes in investment properties will be key.

I also practice as a Realtor because I enjoy it and it is extra income.So as an investor, your options are to get your RE license and have access to a lot of tools and do the research yourself (therefore you're paying with time, energy and a little money) or you work with a great realtor/investor in the specific market you're looking into.

What has been the most reliable way for you to calculate this?

I think the most challenging aspect would be assembling a reliable team and ensuring everything runs smoothly from a distance.

It may be time to shop around for a new one who will actually add value to your investment.If you want a recommendation for a reliable property manager in the Lehigh Valley, I’d be happy to share some contacts.

If they’re facing a short-term financial hiccup and you feel they’re otherwise a reliable tenant, you might consider setting up a plan for them to catch up on what they owe.

I invested with ODC fairly recently for some of the same reasons many others have, Brandon, his positivity, energy and drive to succeed, ability to build a competent team, the network he has built, the communication and the investment structure the sponsors invested in themselves. ultimately, It is STILL our job as investors to monitor our money, ask questions and evaluate the sponsors' thru their reports. 

It's really tough finding a reliable and honest contractor who does quality work.

Before you spend any more energy or resources on this endeavor explain the precise fear that has you wanting to transfer this property to an LLC.
