I'm the VP of a roofing company in South Florida and work with a few good PM companies on a regular basis, a lot of bad ones too.There are good and bad PMs in each of those companies. 

For regular tenants and/or section 8 tenants.

But tell them what you are doing precisely - vacation rentals, not regular rentals.

In Chicago it regularly dips below 32.

I'm in Ohio and we see those lower loan amounts pretty regularly. 

Attend events regularly, stay engaged in conversations, and keep learning through books and podcasts.

Hi Alex, I believe there is a Pittsburgh group that meets regularly but I would love to attend another gathering as long as time/place works.

I just want to hear from regular investors about their experience.   

Unfortunately I feel like a new roof is going to be pretty standard on the things I'm looking at so it might just have to get done on a regular basis.

Might be an additional cost there.If units are updated, capex items look good, leases and tenants look solid, and there are no other regular expenses besides the 5200 in insurance/property taxes then I like this deal.
