For buyers who think they can demand to see/speak to seller directly, I explain seller has no interest and hired me to avoid that scenario.

But if I could do it again I would buy a duplex to quadplex and take advantage of the ability to buy it with little or no money down (VA or FHA if eligible) and have started collecting rent much sooner.Advice I wish I had gotten earlier would definitely be accounting and tax related. 

Need to know county, city property tax breakdown, dimensions of a few rooms, parcel ID #, etc.... but again, this is information that a listing agent will frequently leave up to the seller anyway.  

Not to mention higher property tax+insurance.2. if we chase highest appreciation good quality SF OOS, the initial cost is similar to starting condo price in good appreciation location in CA and Hawaii.When home price is higher than average US home price (400k-ish), The "allure" of investment OOS has significantly diminish.$250/sq ft is rich.

If you really have your heart set on this program, then give it a try and report back to us as you can always help others use a good system or avoid a bad one.

We get a lot of CA investors in our market here in Tahoe Reno, NV that are looking to 1031 exchange out of CA and into Nevada for the lower property taxes and no state income tax benefitsCarlan C.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
