Well it was a big mistake.

I did this about 10 years ago and it was a huge mistake trying to manage remotely.

And it's good to know and anticipate it ahead of the time, so that you don't make mistakes that others do.

The email was replete with grammatical and spelling mistakes too for added professionalism.  

Hello BP community, I am reaching out for advice on a financial decision I made that I am now realizing was a mistake.

@Michael CliffordRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Truth be told, what you need is in fact very simple and where most make mistakes is actually in their day to day operations.

Beginner mistake ?   

Spending $500 to discuss your partnership with a local attorney will help you avoid costly mistakes down the road.Best of Luck
