A few Facebook groups that I network in have shared that they have colleagues that hired them and were not pleased.

Its a 3 hour drive for you and then you have to hire a PM to manage!

Get a DBA and use to open a business bank account.Have your properties "hire" the DBA to manage your rentals and collect rents.Most states require a lease to identify the owner of a leased property, whether a person, trust, LLC, IRA, etc.Landlord = Lord of the Land = Owner per deedAgent = someone legally representing the ownerProperty Manager = Agent

Those seasoned 5+ years and doing what you want to do can be a stepping stone until you can go bigger and hire an expensive mentor.

Good Evening,I hired a property management company a few years ago.

What you would presumably do is find land, buy it, ask for a construction permit, hire an architect to make plans and hire a builder (the developer) for the construction.

It might take a couple of years for you to really be in a place to go on your own, but a mentorship, internship, or even just getting hired at a larger flipping company would be a huge value to you just getting into this all!  

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Me and my wife spoke to an immigration lawyer yesterday, but the answer was pretty much "hire me first"Any guidance/advice would be greatly appreciated!

We've been working well with them and see ourselves hiring them as a GC.We have 100k left to fundraise but plenty of investor pipeline to get us there.
