What is said on the phone or in their marketing matters not.

I've acted as a "deal warning person" to many new California and a few NYC investors who I've talked to in person, Zoom, and phone calls who want to buy the Midwest or South because the price points are lower.  

I feel like it would be great to trust a property management company on all of this, but it would be hard not to step in if you could do a better job at screening bad tenants (eg screening HUGE future problems).I initially managed properties myself, but now I delegate that responsibility to my business partner, personal assistant, or a property manager at my brokerage.Most PMs I know will send you an applicant for final approval and you can get on the phone with them and ask them questions

Quote from @Jamie A Tremble: I am dealing with them right now and there is a response now from the so-called owner registering the Florida and it's Tim Richerson, Michael Richerson, and Karen Tran.. of course the responder is a Debbie p but they don't answer their phone and it is Tim's voicemail.

Try contacting them on the number listed for tenants or use someone else's phone. 

I think they used to be more helpful in the past and they made some changes and now they're not so valuable.I see weird and different values for my Airbnb stats depending on if I'm using my laptop or phone to view them.

If you take the time to share some phone calls with a handful of prior investors, you should get a pretty good handle on what your experience is going to be.

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

And answering your phone calls while watching the games does not turn your living room into a home office.

Where these numbers are found, there is a very high rate of rent actually being paid.Here is a video where I analyze a property in the Detroit area if you/anyone is curious.I don’t know if it’s me or my phone but I can’t see the video.
