I've learned that doing what you doing right now (posting on the forums) or just reading through the forums is extremely helpful.

I know because the new owner listed it for rent as soon as he closed on it.I understood what you posted.  

There was a lot of information I didn't mention in this post since each company and individual can operate differently so if there was something I failed to mention, please feel free to leave a comment).The terms Hard Money Lender and Private Money Lender can be confusing because people sometimes use them to mean the same thing.

This is beneficial to those who also want to leverage OPM in order to get started.In summary, if I could remove my previous post I would.

Since you’re just starting out and haven’t even seen how the property performs post-renovation, I’d say give it some time.

But from what you posted, being in the path of development, near a major U is a good thing.

I do think it is important to note here that I offer specialuzed service that prepares properties for the next owners/tenants, post-construction, showings, etc.

@Millie LeungRecommend 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.

I was just about to post the same question!
