Quote from @Ben Wisan: Hi all,I am newer to this website and community.quick question for everyone.

I got a hold of the owner by looking up his information on the county website.

The vast majority go it the outsourced route; Property Management. 

Understand that they are doing this to make a profit, so it will be more expensive than coordinating maintenance yourself.It may be a decent program for a DIY owner that wants to just outsource maintenance, but you will have the same maintenance issues with this company that you would with a PMC:1) Higher costs2) Admins answering the phones & assigning work, that just know the basics about maintenance.

Their website says they do lots of things in the real estate world but there isn't much detail.

I signed up for something on Ron LeGrand's web-site (the free access portion).

Total turnaround time can be within the same month if you start at the beginning of the month, but don't be surprised if it continues into the next month.S8 in my area outsources the inspections.

Are there any local meet ups or websites on where to find more people who have a moderate level of experience meaning they are  somewhat experienced but still looking to collaborate and network with more inexperienced investors like myself.

their website says they do equipment financing no mention of real estate financing. ???

I believe furnished finder is the way to go as it seems like the majority are looking on that website.
