I've had a previous life as a loan officer and an inside account manager for a lender.

Has anyone had success in buying down rates on single family with commercial loan?

Most of which I can probably manage myself. 

I think you are mistaking  fake foreclosures with the commercials we hear about for title theft.

I make a decent salary of $90,000/ year at my day job as a project manager for a real estate development company in downtown Houston.

Then I began to network... alot, then I built a team RE agent, property manager, lawer... etc. then I bought my first unit. 

We have a small management company and our common practice is to inspect the units every three months or so.

New , Foreign, and Seasoned Investors Welcome , DSCR, COMMERCIAL, MULTI FAMILY, SINGLE FAMILY , LOANS AVAILABLE.

Many agents are lazy and do not take the time to add photos that illustrate unique characteristics, incorrectly add the unit numbers, bedroom count, or fail to verify the square footage that could be greater than the public records the MLS autopopulates. 4, Many MLS properties are listed under the incorrect categories (multi-family under the residential section, multi-family under commercial etc.). 

I thought I would share this, as I've seen a lot of posts recently about how to start a property management company.
