Can anyone tell me if they know of any good realtors, property management companies, contractors, handymen in south bend?

Who will manage the property would be a primary question for me. 

DetailsPurchase price: 1.1MReturn (IRR):11.86% per yearCapitalization Rate:5.45%Total Profit when Sold: $1.16MHolding period: 20 years5% down (so that I can take maximum leverage)mortgage rate: 6.7% 30-year fixedVacancy: 5%Management Fee: 8% --> I used this only for calculation but as I will be staying there, I plan to self-manage it.Cash flow: negative $1500 --> My primary job pays decently and I can manage this and have 12 months of reserves.

I self-managed my properties for years, and it can be difficult, but after being burnt several times, my attorney reminded me of the old adage, "No good deed goes unpunished."

For me, I use a combination of Asana (workflow management), Gemini (google AI) and Stessa to keep my portfolio on track.I'm always looking for ways to improve my own workflow, so any insights you can share would be welcome too!

I was hoping to get some clarity on the rent collection functionality of the stessa/rentredi platform, versus hiring a property management company.

And this decision wasn’t just decided last week.

More on DSCR loans loans if you decide to go that route: DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan which is what conventional loans will use to underwrite the loan.

We're both on board with the idea now - my question is around how to make the purchase and structure the agreement...we both want to go in 50/50 towards a conventional loan and then have it managed by a property manager.
