Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Peter Mckernan:Up front (First Contact) Red Flags - 1) Everything should be in writing and very detailed 2) There should be a very specific Scope Of Work3) They should not ask for much upfront $$, certainly no more than 10% - if even that.

When buying the house, we made the mistake of getting an inspector recommended by our realtor who seemed credible and detail-oriented but I think just wanted to get us into the house.

I would assume the reviews they have with them are on the lower side, and bigger PM companies are known to struggle with attention to detail on properties.

Exploring wholesaling and land investing is a great way to break into the industry, and your focus on value-adding strategies and modular housing shows you’re thinking creatively about how to address market needs.Your entrepreneurial background in auto detailing will definitely serve you well in real estate, especially with your attention to detail and perseverance.

We have had a terrific turnout in past meetings, feel free to DM me for details.

I can share details of properties and if you have airdna, that something we can both look at because i dont have it (and go over what the anayics look at for certain types of propeties in this area). 

My I ask details that raised red flags?

Hey Pat,Thank you so much for your detailed reply, the tips and  pieces of advice you gave really resonated. 

Overall, looking back now, I admit my emotions were played and took the bait (got to as far as putting my contact details on paper but no bank details or signing anything) but stopped because couldn't afford it.

Thank you for your time, and I'll also provide a detailed report if I decide to go with Guesty!
