If your documentation was up to snuff and you followed the State procedure for deposits, it should have been a cake walk to defend. 

Find a management company that manages there own properties along side yours. they're going to naturally have a higher standard for systems and procedures then a manager that doesn't actually own any properties.

It makes their wives happy, it makes their parents happy, and it sets them up for a life spent paying down debt they didn't have to assume.They buy the biggest and nicest house they can get a loan on in the finest neighborhood.

Be sure they are responsive to tenant requests/complaints, and they know the legal procedure for eviction.If you are looking for prop mgt for larger properties, then go to irem.org and use their search thing to find managers in your area.

1) You have to get it rented, most banks will want a DSR (debt service ratio) of 1.2 or higher2) Determine your financing - depending on your situation you may be able to get a conventional loan (each could carry 4, some banks allow 10 per person if your credit and income can support it) or just go commercial (those are normally adjustable, I have found up to 7 years and the rates are a little higher but if you BRRRR'd it right you should be able to support that higher rate)2) The bank will order an appraisal, each will have its own requirements as to how much equity you can liquidate (I like 75%)3) After your appraisal you will have to prove how much you put into the renovation4) get your cash and do it again (check with the bank and find out what their EXACT policy and procedure for transferring the property into your LLC5) once you get your cash contact RE lawyer and COVER THOSE ASSETS make sure your insurance policy is a commercial one, get an umbrella policy and find someone who really knows what your intention is with the propertyI've done this over and over again!!!!
