IREM is your best resource for finding a reputable Property Manager.

And the mold issue is a big chunk of the cash you put out.I myself have learned that making my rentals nice (in a condition I would like to have) without over spending on fanyc items, I have found better more reputable clients.

I learned that we also have to research the level of criminal activity in the area, obtain a Clue Report (if possible)--which basically shows any previous property insurance claims made against the property, and make sure that there are enough reputable property management companies that would feel safe enough to manage the property.

Hey BP,Anyone know of any "Reputable" contractors in the CT area.The deal is currently located in Manchester CT.It is a 4plex, and I'm looking for a few estimates. any suggestions?

It is going to cost about $3500 and that was the most reasonable reputable quote I could find.

When you lie to people (or let them think something that is untrue), you tarnish your name and reputation, as well as the reputation of the industry as a whole.Be honest.

Also they have a great reputation in the market from other investors.If/when I decide to turn over management of my SFR I WILL be using them, but for now, it takes me less than 5 hours a month to manage my SFR and small multi family portfolio.Hope this helps.

If you select a reputable contractor I would assume they have a full calendar.
