Aside from learning as much as I can through books, online forums, and the BP podcasts, should I look for a local investor that flips homes and offer my contracting services?

Happy to help put you in touch with service providers or provide info as needed.

Free services like Zillow Rental Manager and Transunion Smartmove make it easier.Good luck!

Thank you for your service .

I am even willing to Help him out on my free time , whatever he needed but the thing is I really don’t want to undercut the company that I work for  because they have been really good to me I would really love to know the communities thoughts on thisAnd if it is a good idea how to approached him As a side note the company I work for doesn’t service any of his commercial properties  just his residence and a couple of houses that he flipped.

In a nutshell, each time a tenant moves in (water service request triggers it), a city inspector comes out and inspects your property. 

The PM charges me 13% flat rate (so not lease fee no renewal fee no upcharge on services etc etc) which works out for us.  

You can search this BP and find this information.If you do go the seller financing route, your note will be worth more if you make the effort to make it "institutional grade" and have it serviced.

You could also see if someone here could maybe pay for one unit and own the unit but pay you management services.

I dont want the tenant to feel like they are paying an individual (me) .I would be nice if they also generated a report.2>I want to use a 24/7 service to be available to take service calls from tenant via a 1-800 number and log a ticket.
