I think when you start you need to make sure you work with people who are reliable.

To me, that can be done in many asset classes, but I think most people associate it (nowadays) with single family residential investing.

Plenty of people do have 10-20 unit and work thru it, you just need to think it thru and have a plan if you don't want to do all the work. 

I do know some people suggest having multi checking accounts for long rental properties.

But I find that most people want to invest in areas that are solid and that don't have bad tenant quality.

I've seen other people in the forum who simply use independent savings accounts but it is not clear to me if that is legal.

Like most people have noted, Costco and Amazon are the best places to go.

You should fire them right away and talk to an attorney to prevent the loss, but I wouldn't expect much and it could be a waste since a company that does this will not have the money to do anything.When you have just one unit and you are looking for PM companies, your options are the bottom of the barrel because it's not a good use of the big one's time.

I have been working with many people who are just trying to get started with real estate investing.
