Franklin Home Store and Vacasa are 2 local ones I found with a quick google search and I have no idea what they charge.If you want to consider the self-managing route, DM me and I can walk through the details.

You can even connect with local HR teams and offer small referral bonuses to get more bookings.

Being a 20 year mortgage expert and real estate investment veteran, we used our mortgage company to secure below market financing.

Post on local Facebook pages for contractor referrals, go to local REIAs, and ask your potential agents and PMs (even if not using a PM at first...you may at some point).There is only so much that service providers can do and many of them are far from "experts"; so, be prepared to be your own expert at being willing to figure stuff out as you move forward.

Your local laws are going to prevail.

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

Hi Isaiah, I am based in Fort Lauderdale and can speak to the local market directly.  

If I were in your and/or your mother-in-laws shoes, I would go to a local bank and use the free and clear house to secure a $150K+ line of credit. 

Learned that I needed a realtor that was local to the property location.
