If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

With that said, it's best to START it like you're going to outsource everything, so it will be easier once you decide to make that transition.

Hopefully rents start going up 2nd Qtr and into 2026 and 2027.What price range do you want to be in? 

I've been looking at some properties and before I get started, I wanted to know does anyone have any reputable General Contractor/Contractor along with property manager in Columbus, GA because I haven't had much of luck in that department yet?

Starting out a similar plank at NWA!

I want to make sure I screen tenants properly, but I am not sure where to start.

Not sure what I did wrong, but it appears I am not able to start a post for questions, but looks like I can answer post fine. 

Also, I'm not sure how you're paying attention to it on the tax side, but the unit that you are living in's profit at sale is calculated differently than the other unit that you're renting out.Once you move out, that unit is officially available for rent so from that point forward, any profit gained at future sale will be calculated starting from that point and will be taxable.

There is a lot of research to be done to make sure it is feasible before you start the project. 

I've thought about commercial real estate and/or residential house building but dont have any knowledge on where to start.
