My main concern was having him on notice that something has changed from the norm and I really just feel like being in someone else's space "uninvited" is invading .

I'm not looking to profiteer, but I could see a benefit to moving down and working with a contractor company just to meet the inevitable incoming demand (I have little experience, but want to learn), and I imagine there will be a whole new market of available properties to flip.

Finally, what are the main things YOU look for when interviewing property managers?

Hey @Rick Robles, as I'm sure you've heard with real estate investing, you mainly make your money when you buy.

David, I been on both sides, as landlord, landlord searching for PM, and as a contractor in the IT field.I self manage mainly, and for small jobs, I do have plumbers and handyman handling.

Just a few main tips I have learned so far:1.)

I recommend you ask for Mark Davitz at the branch on West main at the intersection of Frank Scott Parkway West.

I feel the same way, however my first home is definitely going to be a house-hack just so I can live for free and get ahead that way.I've been keeping my eye out for apartments, however my main issue is similar to what Jeff said, I'm having trouble locating motivated sellers who would be open to seller financing or a lease option, LoopNet or Redfin aren't exactly the best sources.

So my main questions are, is there a list containing people who are delinquent on mortgage payments (Public information?)

The main towns most of my clients are looking at are Forest Park and Berwyn right now, although the deals are pretty slim here too.
