Can any of you recommend books that you have read that were helpful in gaining perspective on the property management industry as a whole as well as "best practices" for setting up systems and processes for offering property management to investors?

This would make the tenants responsible for setting up an account with the local water company and billing would happen through them which is very hands off for the investor.

They could have one unit that's actually set up as a 2-bedroom and is recently remodeled that they get $850 for and another that's a dated 1-bed and only $520.

Hope future lawsuits help set more precedent that prevents even mild predatory selling tactics.

They never tell you this in the get-rich-quick buy-and-hold seminars, but there are simply a LOT of people who do not have and don't want to acquire the mindset and diverse skill set of a quality property manager.I also tell new investors to go through your first eviction with your lawyer.

I know that @Scott Trench goes into great detail about this with @Mindy Jensen on the BP Money Podcast and in his book Set For Life.

I currently have a duplex in which I pay for water as that is how the previous owner had things set up with the tenants.

The appraisal came back within $7K from my ARV estimate and I thought I was set. 

Please feel free to message me and maybe we can set up a call. 

Set up your key words and include "Raleigh."
