I have - I know little about them, but have heavily considered

For those that own property management companies can you give me any insight on what starting one up would look like and your honest opinions of the property management business these days.

Quote from @Alex Tang: One of my rentals was heavily damaged by a fire after Thanksgiving. 

Does anyone have a good effective 3rd party mailing company to send mailers direct to seller?

@Dwight HenningRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

@Kyle Carter People hit on the obvious, hype and excitement of a large name company like apple moving to an area. 

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Of course, you should switch companies if you are unhappy with their services. 

All title companies work with alot of investors.

I think it would be beneficial to set up your own management company to manage your assets.
