It is not worth it to get the reputation of taking loans and not paying them back. 1.

I'd like to check into using a property management company for my first property, then I'll add it to my second.

I have some great resources about the investing in this area, which can be found on my BP Company Profile page. 

I have another friend who is expanding into the STR business with in KC (He owns the territory for the company he bought in to...right now he is just in STL)Happy to give you his info as well

@Alyssa TeepenThe title company would write you a check or wire the cash out (less the closing costs) into a bank account of your choosing.

Thanks for the info on the two management companies, I'll definitely look them up. 

I am trying to do some due diligence in searching out those mortgage companies that don't care about credit but keep running into brick walls.

Currently about to remodel one side of our duplex from a 2 bed/2 bath to a 3 bed/2 bath with upgraded mini split ductless HVAC system.We've been doing real estate investing for over 10 years and I'm close to finishing developing a land lording class for local landlords to learn from my mistakes of 10 years and similar to the BP mentality ensure landlords are raising the bar to push the less than reputable landlords out as we feel our tenants deserve better! 

I know our Paychex program has a background check company we use.I guess you could run your prospective employess thru your property management software like a tenant...

As an owner, what are the top considerations or issues you face when deciding to bring on a property management company to help manage your units?
