Was the process smooth, and did the property meet your expectations?

Hi Stacy, nice to meet you and congratulations on taking the leap investing in the Clarksville area!

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Nothing wrong with negative cash flowing properties provided it meets your investment goals. 

There are some great meet ups in your area I'm sure and a lot of people at those meet ups are more than happy to chat and give ideas and answer questions.

He’s not a pushy salesman, and I’ve got a business partner who has worked with him for the last 10 years without any issues.As for your situation, I wouldn’t say it sounds like a Ponzi scheme, but I’d strongly recommend meeting with the fund sponsor in person and asking as many questions as you can.

. :-)I agree though - get them involved in a real way (having them help write/advise/ formulate the goals) this will get into their heads faster than just plain talk.I would add this: maybe for the second 'meeting', go on a Field Trip!

It'll be fun to grab coffee and meet up! 

.: Decided to try to use Obie on a new acquisition because my traditional insurance doesn’t do new policies in California and the insurance agent recommended by my loan officer just wasn’t working fast enough (CA Fair Plan seems to be at fault) to meet our closing calendar. 

I have a day job but if you are around Saturday, maybe we can meet up.
