Sellers often prefer Conventional to FHA loans since there are fewer quality requirements to sell to the buyer (aka you)Go get 'em!

I'm out of state and was wondering if anyone had any Agents and/or Property Management companies they prefer.

I personally prefer a multi employer city.

A smaller shop is preferred. 

From my understanding, LLC's and Corporations have different tax requirements.I'd prefer to avoid both downtrodden and luxury real estate. 

To make the list, an individual agent needs to sell 50 homes/$20 million in volume, or a team needs to sell 75 homes/$30 million in volume.Im in the top 1% of agents nation wide, and one of the top agents in the DC metro area, and I do not even qualify to make the real trends list.  100 homes in a year easily makes their list. 

In the past, I have bought non-rented properties and when I found a renter, would use my preferred PM company.

Do you prefer to A. prefer to pay themB. roll them into loan (if that is available commercial loan example)

I would suggest joining GaREIA, great place to meet like minded individuals.
