Anyone know of one?  State Farm just told me I have too many houses and have to move on. 

Is it possible to have a phone conversation? 

Had received an email from this group and spoke with them on the phone yesterday. 

I think that this is a reasonable request to remove a personal phone number from the forums.

Written policies are necessary when you add employees to aid with training or enforcement of standards.I would focus on adding doors to your management company.

Can anyone recommend some companies with a track record like Praxis?

Michael,Maybe you could hire two, see how they do, then give All to the one that meets your expectations, is efficient and returns phone calls

After spending all day dodging junk mail, junk e-mail, junk texts, and junk phone calls I have very little energy left for junk BP posts!

How do I get the phone numbers of the owners of the properties?

HELOCs are not available because they are residential loans guaranteed by individuals and what you seek is a type of commercial loan or credit line which are available to seasoned companies with proven financial track record.
