Hi Tony, I think you just need to find the right lender.

@Kenneth P Ford they are a national franchise with great marketing.They also have some national support for their individual franchises, but it all depends on the local team.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I will be moving into the 5 bed 3 bath because the tenant has been there half as long as the upstairs tenant (therefore that is the unit I am legally directed to move into vs the more tenured upstairs tenant).I do not need the space of a 5 bed 3 bath apartment so am planning on renovating the entire space and turning it into x2 2 bed 2 bath apartments while I am living there.

A single member LLC is not as big of a deal, but once there is a partner involved, an attorney needs to be as well.

There is some maintenance that needs to be done and i need access to the inside.

Good day, I recently purchase an investment property in Flint and need recommendations for good property managers

Its priced well, needs work(which is fine) but wondering if anyone has had any experience buying, living, or managing any rentals in this area or near it?
