@Brody Veilleux I'd encourage you to research the FHA (203k) loan process.

That was the encouragement I needed.

Thank you for your words of encouragement!

Alternatively you can invest in better neighborhoods, perhaps be forced to leave some of your cash in the real estate but experience meaningful appreciation or if you choose to sell, be able to turn the forced appreciation into cash in your bank account.

Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Data chasers are always behind and miss the most meaningful appreciation events. 

They teach us to encourage sellers to list it if they want the most for their property. 

I would definitely encourage looking for local meetups.

Buyer is encouraged to conduct inspections to confirm the property, including the electrical system, meets their expectations.3.

Specifically, what is your advanced payment structure and refund policy when taking bookings 6-9 months out or further...and also how do you encourage Direct Bookings?
