Many claim they do not charge a markup, but then aren't transparent with invoices, etc. 1) If a PMC charges $x hourly, their markup is built into that hourly rate as they are NOT paying their workers that hourly rate.2) Many PMC's send you ONLY their invoice, or from their wholly owned maintenance company, not the underlying invoices from Home Depot and contractors.

Right after I closed on that one the insurance company demanded I make a couple thousand dollars of repairs.

thanks for your time and help 1st off, full disclosure here, Rent To Retirement advertises their properties on my Investment Properties For Sale Show, so I am not a totally unbiased opinion and it's only fair that I tell you this up frontHaving said that, outside of running my show for people like them, I also own a property management company in Northeast Ohio and have worked with 1,000's of out of state investors over the years.I say all of that to say this, the overwhelming majority of negative reviews I have seen on them are very similar to a lot of negative experiences investors have with my property management company and others like it that I've worked with.

Please stop asking us for "the best" zip codes to invest in.Detroit has around 183 Residential Neighborhoods - wouldn't it be nice if "some property mangagement company" Classified them all as A, B, C, or D on an interactive map that real estate investors could use to make better decisions?

Hi everyone,I’m a Real Estate Advisor for a company that provides turn-key investment properties for investors who want to own assets but prefer to avoid the day-to-day management.

This includes all structural drawings, exterior drawings, framing plan, mechanical plans, plumbing plans, electrical plans, gas line plans, roof layout plan.I tried to work with a couple of firms and the pricing for all these came all over the places.I also came across a company called flip16.com (September Development, LLC)  who said they can do all of the civil engineering and architectural drawings work at a fraction of the price compared to those civil engineering and architectural firms.

I have no personal experience with them but they are the only company I know of that are built more for self managers and small portfolios. 

Unless you had a foundation repair company you trust tell you needed a french drain.

There’s no real reason to jump into another market unless your goals shift and your current market doesn’t fit anymore—or if the market itself stops producing the results you need.Mastering one market and squeezing every opportunity out of it is a much better play than spreading yourself too thin and getting half-baked results in multiple places.

Just google all the property management companies in your area.
