Southern Property Management Group is excellent. https://www.southernpmg.comI have worked with them personally, and they currently manage about 24-25 of the multifamily properties in Birmingham, AL.

Hi @Kelly Jones I have an excellent cpa I've used for several years, completely understands RE from an investors perspective. 

It’s an excellent place to start, and can answer many of your questions.

I'll have to do further research, but this is excellent news.

Excellent, pays on time, takes care of property.

This is such an excellent forum to connect with like minded people!!!!

If you have more of a budget to work with, direct mail to highly targeted lists is an excellent way to go.

The HOA is my community is excellent, easy to work with, and they help maintain our property values!

I've heard their training program is excellent as well and they sure made it seem like the bees knees during the business meeting I had with them.

@Joel Owens, you make an excellent case for learning self defense WITHOUT a firearm, and while I haven't taken anything you've said to discourage carrying a firearm (as well as getting trained, etc), I feel you have missed one crucial point.
