In this area, the two soils engineers I've used most often are McDowell and Associates, and Soils and Materials Engineers (SME) - but I don't know if they have branch offices in the area near your problem site.Best of luck with it!

@Nate Hammond  general rule in most mid western is not all is to be north of 800 in rent and buy top of the market not the bottom... cash flow will generally be more consistent over time and you will have the gross revenue to pay for cap ex which hits every home... bottom end of the market is really more appropriate for those that live there and self manage IE they don't have to pay mangers and they do rehab and make readies at cost.. those two items will be the difference in cash flow and cash neutral or negative is my experience of owning a couple hundred of these.. 

Best call the town's rent control office and make a general inquiry to confirm. 

I need something simple that I could utilize today.Thanks you will not be able to get something today. in order to pull credit typically you must have a background check done on you and the company will also come visit your office and confirm you have specific security policies and procedures in place. 

Unfortunately there's a lot of alarmist/scare tactics utilized to upsell these services that do nothing but generate revenues for those who are selling the service and often leave the clients with recurring expenditures i.e  annual maintenance costs.  

The next level up is hiring a revenue management company or VA to do this for you.

Then any revenue above what I am asking for monthly rent they will pay me 70% of that revenue while they pay themselves 30%.Has anyone had any experience with doing business with this property management group?

GR is small, so most properties are within 10 minutes of my office.

See, it's a snazzy start-up where everything is remote (besides their main office in SF) and they got da fancy "algorithms" & da nifty "machine learning" with a coefficient quadratic equation here and a pythagorean theorem there that tells them what rent should be and tenant profiles you should look for.

Next move is New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut 3 flat then an office building.
