I'm also trying to get an answer on this, but seems like there are far more assumable commercial loans than there are residential, but from what I can tell, it's just a case by case sort of thing and you have to check within the loan docs or with the original lender to find out if it applies to a specific loan.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Hi Jacqueline-Great questions and I also help investors as an agent in Michigan.Typically, I work with investors that like a particular area I have written content about and have shared on Facebook real estate investor groups in those areas or posted on my website.Then, I work with them to define their investing goals and specific buyer criteria so we are only looking at properties that fit that.It has not been a problem working with investors after defining their buying criteria because only a few properties will meet that criteria.To your success!

I don't have so many rentals that I can't balance them, and I found that the extra ~1 hr/month (usually all year's time in 1 month) is worth it to have a pulse on your property, decide the specific repairs, etc.
