Also, I found condos with less than 8 units easier to join the board of the HOA and usually isn’t professionally managed.

Swati,You can get some general guidance on the forum, but you should contact some some of the self-directed professionals and discuss your particular situation with them one on one (you are more than welcome to contact my office and schedule complimentary 15-min. consultation with me).

I’m an active agent here on island and was previously a professional wholesaler in Tx.

Make sure you get everything in writing and have a legal professional review the contract.

@Sean Trily Recently, there was a podcast episode about a former professional soccer player, who lives in Portland , Oregon but was able to find deals a few miles down on I-5 in Salem, Oregon.

Has anyone (who isn't a professional and licensed property manager) agreed to do this for a family member?  

It's a lot like a mechanic...if they are fair, can do good work quickly, can make professional recommendations....that would sound like a good fit to me. 

So far I have 1099, Advertising & Marketing, bank charges & Fees, Capital Expenses (for remodels) Car & Truck, Contractor, depreciation, donations, Employee benefits, insurance, interest paid, inventory assets, job supplies, legal &professional services, loans/points, meals & entertainment, office expenses, Rent & lease, repairs & maintenance, salaries & wages, taxes & licenses travel, utilities.

If we contact one, will they generally put us in touch with the other professionals they typically work with, or do we go out an find our own?

However my situation is rather unique.I want to know if I'm going about this the right way: and what better way to do it than by asking the professionals on BP?
