I would love to hear from current franchise owners, be it HomeVestors, Red Barn, New Again Homes, Flip Cheap Homes, or any other flipping/wholesaling franchises out there.

Summary;  95% of all pre forclosure owners refuse to even talk about selling inspite of the empending auction. 

Account Closed a PMC has two options to get liability insurance (tenant slip & fall) protection:1) Get added to owner's policy as Additionally Insured (NOT named insured).2) Setup a master commercial policy and add every property they manage to it and then charge those owners the cost of the policy.Otherwise, a PMC CANNOT get liability coverage on a property they have no ownership interest in.So, nothing wrong with their request.

Numerous times I have been able to think through an issues that arose on a construction site and saved the Owner by proposing an alternate route to resolve it. 

If you have a partner and are a minority owner or LP in the deal, you may find something, but that doesnt sound to be the case from your description.

My experience has been that although I outline the requirements for tenancy in my properties, both brokers and PMs still send people who would qualify for most property owners but do not meet my outlined criteria; and then are SHOCKED when I reject them.  

Would love to hear form some Multi-Family owners/operators in these markets about pros/cons and specifically neighborhoods to avoid.My wife and I have been to Columbia SC many times and, while we have never been to Little Rock Arkansas, we plan on going in Late March! 

Do these messages disclose that you aren't speaking with the actual owner if you aren't? 

I wish all the STR owners luck.

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.
