Please recommend any local company.

In order to minimize the amount of time you'll spend hands on managing, I suggest finding a good cleaning crew and an on-call handy man or maintenance company.

I'm currently under contract with another property and this company has already had me pay for appraisal and is trying to get me to order insurance, but I still haven't received an initial disclosure or anything like it confirming the interest rate and everything. 

I plan to use a refinance on my current cabin to fund the downpayment on the next property.

It usually comes down to pricing.Great question to ask property management companies in the market.

What I would do, seeing as I have my own syndication investment company, is use a large portion to invest in my deals as they come.

.- Research the Flipper:Look into the history of the flipper or the company that did the renovations to assess their reputation and track record.Be Skeptical of the Cosmetic: Look beyond the surface-level improvements to understand the true condition of the home.Taking these steps can help ensure that you are making a well-informed decision and investing in a quality home.

With my first property, I have a property management company handle everything there so this research is new to me. 

You can never know 100% but if you see businesses, company offices, increasing traffic, proximity to a desirable neighborhood or area (beach, downtown, etc), odds are it will help.

They would have to have a compelling reason to do so like a fully executed purchase and sale agreement and proof of funds necessary to close.
