Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Are flat-fee MLS sites or otherwise free listing sites like Craigslist the only options?

Feel free to message me if you have any more questions. 

After realizing I could get the drain tile done quicker and cheaper than what PermaSeal offered, I switched companies.

We do this, it and saves us a ton of time/money/stress, so we can offer cheaper rentals, everyone wins.       

@Osvaldo Benavides - we do have access to No-Credit check hard money; however, it's only offered in certain states. 

Feel free to share your experiences and insights as I am eager to hear from those actively involved in the market.  

I currently have 2 pending offers on the first 2 properties but no inquiries as of yet on the third one, which lead me to my question: Should I go with a HELOC?

I am at the beginning of the process my offer was accepted 2 days ago and I just looked at the place today.

Additionally, investing in opportunity zones, often found in these areas, offers great tax benefits.
