Have a list prepared around a nice area of houses that you have selected that will fit your criteria....maybe see the insides of one or two?

I spoke with Daniel E who seemed like a nice guy but as I learned more he told me there was a $1200 yearly fee to be a member.

Nice to meet you.

Nice having all my information organized and easy to find as well.  

My mom lives in a nice house that she has paid off.

His lawsuit and others have no weight.

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.

If you are paying an extra $1200 a year for something are unlikely to need, how much does a new roof cost? 

I'm glad it's saved you money, that's great that you got some use out of it.My top challenge is getting contractors to go out when they say they will =) hahahaha reliability of contractor, can't be replaced by some of AI stuffs.Be nice to contractor , AI is just new term for tech guy like us to make money out of new BS.

I personally invest in the North Dallas area (Prosper/Celina) where there is lots of growth in homes with nice lots.
