Hello @Michelle Ethertongreat questions and I would like to hear other peoples input on this here is what we use for managing 1700+ rental units and selling 250+ turnkey properties here in Memphis TN Finances - QuickbooksProjects - AsanaCRM - Copper and Podio (investor fuse)Contractors - PropertywareManaging properties - PropertywareWe also use google drive to store all of our pictures of properties and other info. we take a lot of pictures before during and after the sale they have come in handy so many times. 

A few months ago like always I went on search for a few lenders “private” or “personal” if you may.

If you learn to use the MATRIX and do your own searches, CMAs, lookup tax info in Reallist, etc. - that could be an advantage if not a must in researching properties.

Hey all I've been on the search for a few days now and figured I'd give BP a whirl. 

@Eudes De leon I looked their google briefly....it seems 3 resin and 1 comm’l is fine, but....there is a little more to it,  not laid out in straight black and white.It has to be in a predominantly residential use area, the commercial component doesn’t “over power” the residential use/characteristics, etc...as @Chris Mason says, the actual determination is made by the fha appraiser.

They failed at their primary job and you shouldn't be obligated to stay with them.Start by going to www.narpm.org and search the directory of managers.

That keeps me to search for lower priced homes.But I am ready to invest and I can't wait for correction to come, It can be years.Where else would you advise me to focus if you think SFHs up to 60K are not rentable in this time? 

I have had great success with French Drains (google) I had a property in Ca and sometimes it rains furiously there and water would literally pour into the basement like someone turned a tap.

When you originally searched, how many PM firms did you contact and request bids from?

In my search for a multi-family home I am seeing more landlords who actually live in a finished attic or finished basement.
