Hey @Nina Erlandson,Happy to share my experience using Obie. 

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

It gives you one property that can potentially pay for itself while putting a roof over your head and giving you experience as a hands-on landlord.

I'd love to connect with local investors to hear about their experiences purchasing their first properties and the lessons they learned. 

It’s great to hear you’ve got experience across both Indiana and Florida markets.

I work with out-of-state investors and would be happy to share my experience and how I can help you in your next investment purchase.

It has been really educational for me because we have people from all over the US with all types of experience to learn from.

And it took me some big learning experiences, but loved the road to where I am now.

With your experience working in building materials this could come easier to you.
