By the time you finish that, you'll be well-versed in a host of different techniques and strategies and will be better suited to handle the first deal when you find it. 

I think if you explain the market price and set your expectations in a firm but friendly way, the tenant should be receptive to your needs.

By teaming up with a solid firm you can mitigate your risk and have some "boots on the ground" that have your best interest in mind. 

Just host an open house/ take all applications same day/ run all reports that night. 

Hi everyone, my wife and are are thinking about buying a multi use building and so we're looking for a property management firm in Independence Mo.

When I accepted an offer from a prospective buyer in February.They ended up not purchasing my condo due to the hot water pressure being too low and the rental restrictions.The hot water pressure problem was due to the pipes needing to be changed.When I asked the HOA if the problem could be fixed, they said they could not fix it because they did not have enough money to do so.After finding this out and combining this information with what I had already known about how the HOA was being ran, I decided to do a little investigation to see how the finances were being managed.I requested copies of the financial records and several other documents for the last 10 years so I could review them to find out how to funds had been being managed in the past.The secretary, which is who I requested the documents from, emailed me back after I made the request telling me to not contact her anymore.She alleged I kept contacting her while she was at work.This may have been true but I was only doing so because she never told me the times that she worked.I don't know her personally and I never have been disrespectful towards her when I called her for anything.So, I could not understand why she got so angry.Anytime I would try to contact her after that, she would not respond so I stopped contacting her.She would only respond to my attorney that I was working with to sell my house even though the documents that I was requesting from the HOA had nothing to do with selling my house.I was requesting the documents for myself.I always have been a firm believer that people who don't have anything to hide don't try to hide anything.I am not saying the board members are stealing any money but I have reason to believe something unethical is going on.I ended up selling my condo a few days ago.The HOA provided my attorney with some financial documents that my attorney had requested for the sale.However, I felt that the information that the financial report provided was vague.It could have been created by anyone who knows how to use Excel.I wanted to see bank statements, audit reports, and documents that I feel are more concrete evidence.Even though I no longer live there, I don’t want to allow the HOA to get away with behaving this way.If I do, that gives them permission to continue to stonewalling people who request information from them.Based on my narrative, what do you think I should do?

Here are some filings our firm did that did not use cf.

Acquisitions team, renovation crews (fully licensed and insured), Property Management, and a Real Estate Investment Brokerage in case you ever decide to sell.By teaming up with a solid firm you can mitigate your risk and have some "boots on the ground" that have your best interest in mind. 

Firm size does not matter regarding the price.

If their are suggestions to who best handles taxes specializing in Realstate investing in this area or any other info will be helpful However, if any other firms/agencies have been beneficial for people local to the Atlanta area I welcome other suggestions.
