I think she is equally responsible if she is 50 / 50 ownership per the offering and through thier own discussions on podcasts, social etc. 

You’re probably thinking you have to offer asking price – not true!

I wish they were offering some uses of it. 

I used the background and credit checks offered through Cozy. 

The property sat on the market for a month before an offer came in, but the buyer backed out at closing.

You can weed them out till you find good ones, and when you do, then you offer a 6-12 month renewal.

I've read a few books on real estate and something the majority of them had in common was the BP community so I would like to see what it has to offer

I am guessing only you would be signing the 18 month lease and this individual who is there to "help" won't be voluntarily offering their signature as a co-signer?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

OKC and Birmingham markets both offer some great opportunities and good entry prices for new investors.
