that amount is calculated on the entire sale price BUT it comes directly out of his profit affecting it exponentially.

Vacasa and Evolve are two of the major players that could have an opportunity in that area for you to be boots on the ground.

I told him I couldn't give fair price sight unseen and asked if we could coordinate with their property manager to view the property.

Purchase price: $445,000 Cash invested: $124,900

Purchase price: $326,000 Cash invested: $88,000

You could still be sucessful but you need to pick a great market and a great property at a great price.

Also was wondering if anyone knows a solid design team that is priced fairly, and how I can find a solid handyman in the area. 

I'm a "newbie" by definition with one duplex under my belt but would be interested in meeting up as well to share stories and explore opportunities.  

I dont know how they would be if I filed a claim but in terms of adding/deleting properties you just use their online system its really east and price is right.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
