Kevin, don't skimp on photos, we hire a professional company and do 3D Matterport tours.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

I can't emphasize this enough: it is absolutely crucial that you hire an agent or manager who knows the area before buying a student property here.

But before hiring a cost seg company, make sure it will be beneficial to you: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1075919-five-...

I hired an attorney and she recommended at this point with all the problems Blacktip Construction and Jeff Beach are having to file a criminal case against him and registering it with the DOJ.

You hired a management company?

That said, I have a nice stream of passive income (including math freelance jobs to keep me busy), and a lot of time on my hands, as well as experience with materials and vendors doing home renovations.

Quote from @Jeff Brogan: I would hire a trusted expert to get you real numbers, someone that does it in that area all the time (rents out properties/property management). 

I still tried to reason with her to see if we could repair this, but she hired a personal injury lawyer (who happens to be a cleaning client of her) to start emailing me demanding I give her $125,000 for her 1/2 of the business, or else they are going to file a lawsuit.

Are you doing it yourself or hiring a contractor that specializes in it?
