I'm going through University Lending but I'm in the panhandle.

@Bruce Lynn sorry you have to go through this but very grateful for this platform to hopefully get you some answers and help educate the rest of us at the same time!  

I’m looking to buy some single or multi family units for long term rentals that would provide at least a moderate degree of cash flow.  

I'm a first-time investor interested in seeking cash flow and appreciation through rental properties.

My mom is unable to let them go through hard times.

In turn,  we can walk you through some of our projects in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Hawaii!   

I've been through the house a few times for clients. 

Initially we had intended on starting our real estate journey through multi-family house hacking, but this opportunity popped up first and it was hard to ignore.

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!

For me, my strategy has been coldcalling via lists through Propstream.
