To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Even if the HOA currently allows rentals, it’s worth attending HOA meetings or reviewing their amendment history.

Still tons of positive cash flowing deals that meet the 1% rule and amazing appreciation here!

We make people take photos of themselves holding their ID and then I also meet them in person for the showing - at least for my units on the NW side of Chicago.I've never heard of these testers, but I am not surprised. 

They go on Zillow or Redfin and just look for properties that meet the criteria, put them on spreadsheet, analyze the potential deal, pick up the phone and call listing agents.

I will be attending a real estate meet up tomorrow night in Seattle but would appreciate any advice before the meet up. 

Care for yard, repairs, and hot tub. 

LOL.I'll just put it this way - virtually all of the people who I meet out in the real world actually operating and owning profitable businesses don't even have a Youtube channel, and most of them have never learned anything from anyone who does.PS Anyone who uses the word rockstar to describe themselves is not to be trusted.

I ended up having to pay for their tax preparer’s time to meet with me and make corrections.

@Erick Armando Gonzalez I would try to meet with them personally and see if they will comply.
