I am reaching out to all local and out of state investors whom are looking to acquire property management services in the central Indianapolis area.We have 5+ years of experience finding, vetting and signing tenants, performing routine maintenance, scheduling contractors and service individuals, and doing routine bookkeeping and accounting.We use a thorough screening process to find the best tenants for the properties we manage including credit, eviction, employment and criminal background checks.

That is way too much book keeping/accounting for you.

also when I close deals in South Carolina some brokers take my EM and others send to closing attorney the ones that take my EM  then give a credit on the hud against their commish again to me a bookkeeping nightmare and way more liability than I would want to take..Not sure if you do it.. but in this state we will use promissory notes for the EM  that need to be redeemed for cash upon mutual acceptance this allows the EM to be valid at the time the contract is written.. if you don't redeem the note and send in your cash the contract voids..
