Most importantly, they work legally, reliably, will customize when necessary and get the job done in a timely manner.

Property Management is spearheaded by excellent customer service, a standard that anyone you hire should hold themselves to by keeping an open line of communication between investors, residents, and property managers.

I would do this and take a picture of it on the door.

I have been speaking with a few customers and conventional loan officers lately regarding 30yr financing on investment properties and the rates I am now hearing are north of 5%.

I did tried calling them as you suggested, however they are not taking any phone calls from new customers currently. 

A couple of the reasons/concerns I am considering this:-Difficult to go the BRRRR method in the current market and actually find a deal (too many non-Texans, like myself originally paying way over market value on MLS)-I liked the work the builder did on our property, and we would ideally build a base model without much customization, and add forced appreciation in the second home while we live in it over time-I would like to take advantage of the current rates, as well as my VA benefit with the best strategy possible in starting the rental journey-I know our current home would rent and cashflow well (only con/concern is that our upgrades are on the higher end, rather than econo-rental-friendly: porcelain wood-look flooring, granite countertops etc.) 

I have owned the property for about a year and there has been minor fixes that already turned my first year cashflow negative.Earlier this year the tenant has submitted a repair request for the drive way as shown in the pictures below.

Thats why custom prints the color charts in stripes to place it between two pieces of your tile to see if it will look good.

**Property: ARV: $90K ( being safe there was 1 comp that should for $98K and 1 pending for $95K) **Repairs:  She explained a bunch of minor things that could be $10K-$15K ( all mechanics have been update and roof within 7 years) The pictures she sent home is definitely livable **This property can rent for $1050/ month **Mortgage Amount $63000*Monthly Mortgage payment $696 Im curious to hear the creative strategies as the cash offer just doesn't make sense here but I want to explore all options 

Eg:  Here's a picture of the tile/flooring I would like and they come back with something not quite what you had envisioned.
