Suggest you connect with them and do all you can to encourage them to mentor you.

From what little interaction I did have, they were both real nice.The words trust but verify still ring trueGino I interviewed lane -I do not think they intentionally were out to scam people at all.

They ask about staying long term, hoping the thought of all that money will entice you to interact with them and leave your defenses down. 

, we are super blessed, it was not easy but it wasn't super hard either, and the tools here at BP are a VERY good resource to Analyse deals. thank you, guys.we are renting this property now to a wonderful family, they are super happy with the place, and we are collecting $1,200 P/M rent with over just over $500 in cash flow :) I just wanted to share to encourage new investors!!!!

I would encourage doing a house hack first.

As an agent we encourage buying over renting and buying what you can a afford when you can afford it.  

Im torn between something that is turn key with encouraging rent potential v something old that needs a lot of work but can become 2 units, however not the best neighborhoods.Lastly, but very important-  If in either scenario price jumps to $380k with 15% down does this become not as profitable?

@Kenneth P Ford they are a national franchise with great marketing.They also have some national support for their individual franchises, but it all depends on the local team.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.
