Here ya go "Bob", directly from your advertised Linked-in CLEARLY saying you provide PM, NOT that you reefer someone off but CLEARLY saying YOU provide PM and all these other services. 

As you say, the concept is great and true, but the proper application in practice may not be as advertised.

I've been hearing advertisements frequently on podcasts, but I feel a bit confused and would appreciate any assistance you can provide. 

And as I continue to see more and more "we buy houses, cash" advertising, even the distressed homeowners are likely getting multiple offers from wholesalers, driving up the wholesaler price, which means higher price for you.

It makes no sense to me that you would need to advertise nationally.

WE do have a lender who we refer to but we dont advertise or do what others do and have some sort of back end deal with the lender.. 

I'm starting to notice that more investors (specifically Class C areas where one of my Indianapolis rentals is located) will advertise that "appliances and AC unit to be installed upon move in" for their rental or flip for the tenant or buyer.

(And sometimes, the property managers that advertise locally, actually live more than 50 miles away which means they might not have the necessary contacts with the local contractors or be as responsive as you would wish, so watch for that).

BP is so large now, unfortunately, there are a lot of "professionals" advertising their services here but don't know the REI industry.So, to protect yourself in the future, I'd ensure at least a few other REIs have worked with the professional you choose to hire and have received enough value from them to refer their services.You can always ask the professional for references as well and they should have no problem providing a few if they are good at what they do.Just my 2 cents.
