I will get the names of a couple journeymen or apprentices who have their own truck and maybe a two man crew - can do the work for 50% less than a typical outfit.  

That being said, once you narrow down the type of investment that suits you, your finances, and your risk tolerance, the amount of information that applies to you will be greatly diminished, which makes this place a teensy bit less overwhelming.I see that you are looking at MI (great outfit) so you must be interested in exploring turnkey.

Do you want to flip props yourself or invest with an outfit that handles the buying, refurbing, marketing themselves?

There are a "few" outfits along the front range.

My suggestion to you would be to find the top rated turnkey investment outfit in Albany and use there PM company I believe you will have good luck working with them being a top rated turnkey company is only good as there management.I was told "live where you want and invest where it makes sense"Happy investing,Mocellie

This outfit will presumably specialize in certain markets and verticals as well where the people running the portal understand it all well.  

One of the houses became available and we are presently outfitting it to do Airbnb over the holidays and will see how it goes.

Pay a clown to hide in the forest, get a little fake blood on his outfit. 

I know an outfit out of TX that does them for $1250 or so, but I can't speak to their validity except to say they were recommended by someone I trust.

We would lose that if we convert to a long term rental, plus it is already fully outfitted with furnishings and appliances.
