So project selection, detailed comp analysis, detailed cost analysis, an ARV based on fact. 

Selective in a way where they know your income is stabilized and that your business is thriving.  

My concerns with selecting a servicer are the following: customer service, access to funds, access to education materials so I can learn how to stay away from prohibited transactions.

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!

Select the Tenant Segment FirstStart by identifying a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable people.

I am also very involved in reviewing proposals, selecting subs, design, etc. 

Quote from @Roger Garner: I don't have any recommendations, but I can provide you a guide for screening and selecting a quality PM.

Others work with rehabbers across the country so you have some selection on location.Turnkey rentals are an easy way to get going, but the returns are typically not as good as if you found and managed the rehab on your own. 

More demand equals less TI, rent abatement, or other LL concessions to provide when a vacancy does occur, so select accordingly.

The local store may have a limited selection but you can find more sizes and options on their website.The tenant may very well trash them, but they are inexpensive and can easily be replaced with the deposit.
