do you mind referring. 

The appraiser does not have a purchase price to reference, so they will typically be conservative.

No internet = no tenants a lot of the times...Ensure them you'll leave them a fair reference if any future landlords contact you about their tenancy.

It would be nice to know if the high maintenance is referring to the cost driving down the cash flow, or is it just the headache of managing the maintenance, but they still cash flow.

By 'a lot more money' you're referring to the increase in the minimum down payment and higher interest rate yeah? 

I am looking to connect with local investors in the southern Ohio area to learn from and work with.Which part of southern Ohio are you referring to?

@Josh WellsRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I would like to believe it was inadvertent and not purposeful as an additional negative reference!

Do you check Landlord references?

Does he have references you can talk to?
