Nonetheless, it was made possible by a local credit union.

The issue is you cannot force insurance companies to do business in the state.

Call every local investor agenda (look at the agents that have investment property listings and call them) and call every local landlord that owns multiple properties (you can get lists off of Deal Machine).

Not all PM companies are equal - not just in service but in helpfulness.

I have a local handyman that helped me hired junk removal company and pest control for the roaches.

Better if the company has a lot of info in writing that you can absorb to minimize this.

They don't want the company to be potentially liable if an owner doesn't follow through with the inspections and repairs.After the GFC, we needed the capital investment or they would have had to tear down more houses than the thousands that they already have.

The only information I had to go on was with the last Lender informed me so maybe it was specific to the company they were with.

I'm also hopeful to get some local cooperation now that he's claiming partnerships with local government. 

Please message me and I can answer any questions you may have on real estate, local meetups or the local area.
