Anyone works with any personal with good references?

The 200 bucks, if you would have read, was referring to dealing with city officals, not some jerk off falling off my roof.

a good realtor can pull a list of absentee owners for you in yor area. in my county i can go to rent court and look at the owners filing for eviciton/rent court and get their information. that's 1 way to compile it. same with probates, tehre's the register of wills. as far as vendors, the cost is relative to your budget. there are companies like site-x data, and first american realty solutions and haines who provide data and you can pull a list from there. another popular vendor to pull lists from is melissadata.

The house is not listed yet but the asset management company referred me to the listing agent.

They are using an auction method using the services of Real Estate 7- Day solutions - a real estate marketing group.

Work out an agreement with them that if they close a deal with one of the people you referred, you get a small referral fee.

I ask each agent for property manager references.

MIke:Was the author of the blog referring to a specific type of agreement and contract?

She'll make a mistake at some point, and you'll have your chance to get rid of her.For future reference, it is sure easier and cheaper to have your rentals in safe condition before you rent them out.

I get my skilled workers by referal from other people who have used them.
