I learned it was possible to buy investment properties and manage myself from a distance.

A bonus is if that company also manages and will stand behind that property after the sale to an investor like you.if you have the time, desire, risk tolerance, and knowledge, you can absolutely find and or create deals on your own.  

As a property manager, I also require landlords place me on their policy as "additional insured" and it extends some protections over to me.

I manage MTRs in NC and SC - our SC properties still cover their costs and then some in the MTR space even after my management fees.

The manager doesn't determine what they do and don't like, they 'manage' the HOA to comply with the law and guidance from the Board.

The other contributing factor was the poor property management and sponsor asset management of the properties.

I only know a few local realtors/ property managers I’m going to meet with them this week to ask more questions. 

A lot of landlords use platforms like Zillow Rental Manager, Apartments.com, or Avail to list vacancies and screen tenants.

I'm a managing partner at a holding company that does things a little differently, and we have a one stop shop for everything.

As an invetsment-friendly agent (based out of Houston, TX), I’ve seen how the right professional will help you analyze cash flow, manage comforatble contractor bids, and even drive for dollars if you want a broader look at potential comps or deals in the neighborhood.
