The property management LLC's are the latest gimmick these alarmists use to drive up their revenues at their clients expense.

They can test even the sharpest investors.Another buddy of mine, who’s based in Austin, had a client that found herself caught off-guard by a last-minute inspection delay on her Oregon property.. from what I’ve heard in Forbes, the local market’s short supply of exchange-worthy replacements didn’t help either.

What would be their motivation to risk driving someone into foreclosure that’s been paying their note like clockwork?

You are going to be tested on this tomorrow....

The local law says that the non owner occupied property being rented will need a designated host that may or may not be the owner however that other line item in the code that stipulates that the host must be available within 30 min driving while the unit is occupied becomes the dealbreaker.

I would say that most contractors would be good to collaborate with on scope of work decisions but many/most would not be ideal driving that bus on their own.Exactly.

The list price is just a data point used by the seller or listing agent to drive traffic. 

It's an agency, and I could invest in ads to drive more business.. in theory the return there would blow the return of rentals out of the park. 

I see so many people who don't understand what they are bidding on.They don't do the research, they don't drive by to see that the Google st view is not accurate and they put down a bunch of cash on a bad property. 

In that situation I purchased a SF property 4 hours away from me this year as a fix-n-flip and to test the hypothesis that long distance fix-n-flips could be viable investments.
