I worked with one and that experience is the reason I now own my own PM company. 

This experience taught me to trust my instincts more and never skip due diligence, even in areas I am less familiar with like basements and water intrusion.Any advice on how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated.

@Lutfiya Mosley I’m sorry to hear the experience you’ve had with the Multi Family Mindset’s team.

Sorry about your experience.

@Mike FitzPatrick  I have experience investing with them. 

It is also worth noting that property management is often closer to 30% of gross rent for a short-term rental due to the much more intensive hands-on management compared to a typical 10% for long-term and as such, I agree with recommendations above that medium term rentals may provide the best of both worlds if you are able to tailor proximity to a local need, e.g. hospitals and travel nurses.Again, happy to relay my personal experiences in the area if you're interested.Best of luck,Patrick

That's typically because they have a lot of money and experience.

Look for investors who have capital but lack time or experience—networking on BiggerPockets, LinkedIn, REIAs, and local investor events is key.

A renter for a stand alone rowhome is usually a different profile from a large apartment complex renter in my experience.

I want to share an experience ive had over the past few months with my newest multifamily purchase, and highlight the importance of being consistent, telling everybody what you do, and what you are looking for even when you dont feel ready.
