If you have to bring in a partner with more experience and or funds, that may also be an option to help maneuver through this deal.

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!

I want to actually hear it from people who have experience with the area and who know what's going on.

Quote from @John Mason: https://www.facebook.com/groups/26817574435/@John Mason are these deals on these groups legit from your experience? 

This would save me a ton of time and effort.Does anyone have experience with a service like this?

I've even made an offer on a distressed property in my last trip and had a great experience negotiating and trying to workout a deal.

BRRR can be a great avenue but there are risks and experience helps.  

(I also have experience as a sales manager and as a real estate agent, so I'm confident I can make the switch).

From my experience it is primarily conventional, FHA or VA loans that can be assumed.
