Hello!
Out of state [almost] investor here, and preparing to purchase my first investment property in Memphis. I'm reaching out to the BP world for insight or first hand experiences with the property management companies i've been talking with. The three groups are very active on BP...
Reedy & Company, and exploring the turnkey approach with Memphis Turnkey Properties as well as Memphis Invest.

@Jay Grabbe $4,000 is a total rip off for an new AC unit. We pay $2,200 with permit pulled on an 3.5 ton AC unit with coil. Hot Water tank is about $650. The tank itself only cost about $330, parts are about $100. Permit and labor about $175. You can get better cost. Always ask for a breakout of labor and material. Some PM companies get rich on maintenance.

Well, I hope Curt has nice things to say about our management since we manage 17 of his homes. If we are not doing good, he could always drive down the street and give me an earful. LOL!
Can you elaborate on that? I was considering Reedy. Do you feel the expenses are not legit or they charge high prices or what? Any info would be appreciated.

600 repairs
500 section 8 inspection repairs
2500 house prep
4000 new ac
900 house prep
1000 water heater
Half of these are on the remodel Curt did. I absolutely wanted to stay away from C areas, these 2 houses were A and B areas rated by Norada.
There's another I have down there with a different company that I don't hear anything from but had to threaten eviction when tenant didn't pay for a month.
I own properties in Indiana that I manage myself. Chicago prices are some of the highest and these repairs are over twice what I would pay.
If I had to do it again I'd stay away from these companies.
Everyone has different tolerances and goals, they don't meet my standards.
Ive settled on only buying properties over 100k worth in good areas rated by amenities and schools. I'm sticking to my area for now, you can find deals if you look.
