Been following you on different social media platforms.

Also, put any repairs pointed out by the inspector into the following categories (by priority)1) Health & Safety - to avoid tenant injury and potential lawsuits2) Property Preservation - to stop further costlier damages3) Government Required - city inspection repairs & S84) Marketing Negative Impact - who'll rent a house with purple bedrooms?

And you have to put a fair amount (25%+) down, operate in the Top 10% of your market and truly have an outstanding property.Influencers and social media gurus make it seem like this is much more achievable than it actually is.So very true!

I found very few reviews except one that said it requires a $5000 initial investment and the refund policy wasn't stated.All these social media gurus/coaches say basically the same thing with different hooks to get your attention, his being the "cowboy" and they will mentor you 1:1 and walk you through the steps, etc.

I think "what about my wife and kids" and their safety.

@Marc ShinRecommend 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.

@Stacey Wells This post troubles me & sounds like the rhetoric the social media real estate gurus teach.

Looking back, I must acknowledge that personal branding and social media played a huge role in my success.

Then use that report as a guide to what else really needs fixing.Also, use this guide to prioritize repairs:1) Health & Safety issues2) Property Preservation3) Goverment Required (S8 and city inspections)4) Marketing negative impact5) MiscellaneousAlso, keep in mind YOU are NOT living in the home!

Being in the real estate business, I enjoy watching real estate news on social media, it gives me peace of mind.
