Good luck in all your future REI ventures.

Check your property tax basis on all investments there... some counties are not investor friendly, owner occupied gets a massive break unlike Polk/Dallas in Iowa.I've got some references back that way including contractors and realtors if you need a connect.

@Derrick LumsdenI'm sure that there are although I don't have any specific sites to refer you to.

I only want to approve cats that have a strong Landlord reference.

Think in advance as well;  will this affect the future sell ability of the home? 

Does anyone have a good contractor in the area to refer for repair estimates?

@Brian Ellis which state are you referring to?

In the podcast I hear a lot about building relationships with local banks and leveraging those relationships for future financing and creative financing options.

I currently do not have a PM, but contemplate getting one in the future. 

Appreciate the reference.
