I’m an investor with properties in both Indianapolis and Kokomo, as well as the owner of a property management company overseeing numerous units in Indianapolis for out-of-state investors.

Who are a few great companies I could speak with that have turn-key properties available?

I have five houses in Memphis area, and the biggest problem has been finding a good property management company. 

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

I started out with a great cleaning company that did great work but the owner and I were not a good fit, they cleaned well but she didn't like my over communication. 5.) 

Question is, is the person you are dealing with a correspondent broker who brings them deals to fund or someone from their company.

Gifting equity in a house may be more trouble than it is worth if you are not near the life-time exclusion1) Potentially having to get the property appraised everytime an equity is gifted2) Having a title company update the title every time3) Exemption of the gift tax return is normally for cash gifts below the annual gift tax exclusion, you may still need to file if you gift non-cash4) If there is partial ownership over several years, having to properly pro-rate certain items such as real estate taxes, mortgage interest and rental income if the property is a rentalBest of luck 

With technology and the right culture property management companies can be successful with a mix of local and remote team members. 

Your property management company can help once you own the property but up until then you need someone good on your side!!! 

My advice on sub to is as follows1- COMPLETELY understand the process, implications, liabilities, and possible outcomes before engaging or attempting to engage in a sub to transaction2- Complete disclosure going so far as making sure the other part understands the transaction and possible consequences3- Utilization of an attorney experienced in subject to transactions for setup in such a way that provides some protections in case of default or in case the note is called4- Have a backup plan in case the note is called5 - only use for property that has a TRUE positive cash flow unless the buyer has substantial reserves I myself have purchased 8 properties subject to, but 5 of those were commercial properties which often have notes where a subject to is allowable.
