My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

You reinforced my impression of the local market.

Impressive!

The entity you select can impact everything from how you're taxed to how you protect your personal assets.LLCs are often the go-to for real estate investors because of their simplicity and flexibility.

Aging reports would be another avenue to explore, but again, may not even have these.Lastly, while maybe this property is in a desirable area of town with strong demand from highly qualified tenants, but I get the impression this is a rough part of town, with very limited demand from tenants.

And don't underestimate the power of a strong first impression – a well-maintained exterior with a fresh paint job is key.Just remember, even with the best upgrades, color choices matter.

I'm not familiar with Maverick; I have been impressed with (although haven't yet invested through) Norada, which likewise connects investors with turnkey providers in target markets. 

The time period you select is whatever you are comfortable with.

They used to be marketed with all of the other homes on the main search page, but a user had to go into the filters and specifically select the "FSBO & Other" tab.

My wife and I are new investors with identified deal flow, a selected strategy, and have done a ton of research.
