@Chris Seveney Are you guys servicing the loans yourself, or do you have a vendor that supports this process? 

Great question @Rachel ChioreanuA network of reliable vendors who provide quality work for a fair price is critical to our success as investors and managers. 

We have trouble getting vendors and staff to go to certain parts of town, that's a bigger issue than if the office is willing to deal with the paperwork of section 8. 

Good place to start - hope it's helpful.Chimneys Plus - http://chimneysplusgutters.com/chimneys/Chimney Keepers - http://chimneykeepers.com/Let us know how your experience goes so we can all update our vendor lists.

The problem is you have to be working with vendors that report to D&B for it to impact the businesses credit score.

In the process of getting vendors lined for the condo project we found a great connection for a particular building material at 1/3 of the price I could find for anywhere near us with great quality.

Part of vetting a PM company is to ask to see the contract's financial terms before you sign, set limitations on maintenance reserves or use your own vendors, and observe their response time in getting back to you. 

It's too small for professional multifamily management and the SFR managers have a different business model, without multifamily vendors and suppliers for turns and maintenance.  

Two local vendors below also might be able to get you square away inexpensively but I haven't used them so they are for you to research. call them up and ask for quotes on your desired appliances type and size and colors for scratch and dent.
