Maybe we can help each other.One of the hardest tasks I had was finding a trustworthy and reputable Real Estate agent.

Are they a reputable and decent company?

The same goes for Memphis where we already have a great reputation, but have wanted to begin to buy beyond just the realtor listed properties.I am not sure how many properties you should have or how many you will have, but for me, I have been very happy with the results we have received so far and we are getting the very typical 3-5% response rate on the letters we send...especially after sending the third mailing and beyond.

It is used by a large PM company in my area with a good reputation but it is available to everyone.

My brother in law got lured, hooked and reeled in by a 5 yr lower interest hard money, property didn't re- appraise high enough they fed on his bleeding carcas until he could sell.Find reputable HM with proven track record I did 3 last yr without a problem.

How do you determine if they are reputable?

Does anyone know of a reputable property management company that they are currently using in the Middle Georgia area?

IREM is your best resource for finding a reputable Property Manager.

And the mold issue is a big chunk of the cash you put out.I myself have learned that making my rentals nice (in a condition I would like to have) without over spending on fanyc items, I have found better more reputable clients.

I learned that we also have to research the level of criminal activity in the area, obtain a Clue Report (if possible)--which basically shows any previous property insurance claims made against the property, and make sure that there are enough reputable property management companies that would feel safe enough to manage the property.
