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

Buy&Hold that is performing well.

Looking to hire a licensed lead abatement contractor who does residential abatement in northeast Ohio.As it's not a single family residence, I am not allowed by state law to perform the abatement myself.  

I own a 2 unit there that is performing very well but then again every property purchased in 2010 has!

I blog.... and write poems about REI... and share my journey to others in context of math, engineering, breakdancing, art, having a full time job, not having one... and everything beneath and below.

My question is, having no way of knowing the quality of screening the current tenants would have actually undergone, can I use the information on file to run a quality background and credit check to perform a "risk assessment"?

Either it performs, or I cancel it. 

@Jerry Kim on top of what everyone else has said, take some time to compare how various CRE asset classes have performed in a down market compared to the S&P 500.

They perform based on the level of stress put on them.If their stress and difficulty level is low, they put little into it.

There is also a lot of risk.Should you want to just get a great property that performs, and don't want the headache of acquiring, rehabbing, placing and managing tenants, etc, then TK is a great way to go.
