JeffWe lead a couple investor meet up groups in person and live stream about the Central Ohio real estate market.

My experience has been that although I outline the requirements for tenancy in my properties, both brokers and PMs still send people who would qualify for most property owners but do not meet my outlined criteria; and then are SHOCKED when I reject them.  

(Their pricing isn't automatically better.) 

I’m committed to keeping my options open and continuing to learn about being a landlord to ensure I’m well-prepared for my first purchase.To improve my ability to analyze deals, I’ve developed a two-part plan:Join a local BP meet-up group to discuss my goals and support others.Continue learning and engaging with the BP forum.Thank you again for your guidance—it’s truly appreciated!

I've invested with the same group for the past 7 years but when I joined they had been already in business as a real estate fund for 3.5 years and asked to meet withy the fund manager who took the time to tour me personally in California and hen a year later I went to see one of their bigger projects for assisted living facilities. 

SizeCracks wider than 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) are a cause for concern Cracks wider than 15 millimeters (0.6 inches) may indicate a serious problem Cracks wider than 25 millimeters (1 inch) could be a sign of structural damage Location Cracks above doors and windows, Cracks near the ends of walls, Cracks where walls and ceilings meet, and Cracks that allow daylight in.

We invest in some deals because they meet our Hurdle Rate/Return on Investment objectives. 

I am interested in utilizing space again for group meetings, workshops, and for clients who may still desire private space.  

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
