So be careful

Be careful with these posts, this is when all the real estate agents come out saying their market is best, when it might not be.

I like that lawn and snow removal is taken care of in an association, but dislike that expense each month. 

My advice is to tread carefully.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

.- Since we're not really in full control of the property, the Hold Harmless also indemnifies us against anything that goes missing at the property and squatters.We get asked/told to do all kinds of crazy stuff by owners, who either don't care what happens to us or haven't really thought everything through.Hope this addresses your question.

Be careful they are swift talkers and money getters.

So be careful of that.

Regarding leverage - use it carefully!

You need to read the sheriff sale information carefully, or if in a county with a magistrate then read their ruling.
