Hey all,

I'm thinking about starting up my own Property Management company here in Southern Ca.  I want to get some honest thoughts on the business and any comments or concerns are extremely appreciated.

-What do you (as an investor) look for in a property manager?  What would make you choose one property management co. over another?

-What are some good experiences you've had with a property manager?  Bad?

Please share your thoughts, and happy New Year!

Hey all,

I wanted to get some feedback about simultaneously working as a selling agent and a mortgage broker (e.g..Finding a property for someone and financing it for them, and getting paid for both activities).  Do you guys think most investors would shy away from that or be receptive?  Is it even legal to act as both the selling agent and mortgage broker?  Any opinions are warmly welcomed.

Merry Chirstmas!

 I have not!  But I will definitely give them a look now.  Much appreciated Carol!

Hello all!

Does anyone have some good websites and/or resources that they use to do market research (finding credible job growth, development, avg home prices, etc).  If so, would you please share them with me?  It would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Thank you for the response Hattie! We are looking in the Fort Worth area.  Is there any time frame wiggle room?  Let's say one of the tenant's lease is expiring in the near future and we intend on occupying their unit upon the ending of the lease - Could that possibly work?

Hello all!

I am a California resident and am planning to purchase a home in Texas within the next 6 months using an FHA loan. I am aiming to purchase a fourplex, and owner-occupy one of the four units.

There is a caveat to my plan though: I will not be the one who is the owner-occupier. My partner, who will co-sign the loan, will be living in the unit permanently and will also act as the property manager. I will be living back and forth in both CA and the fourplex in TX.

To anyone who has FHA experience. Will this work? Will I qualify for the FHA loan if I'm not going to be a "permanent" resident? Or am I okay because my partner will be a permanent resident?

Also, many of the fourplexes I am finding are fully occupied. As far as an FHA loans goes, can I still qualify for the loan if the fourplex is fully occupied at the time of purchase?

Any help would be wonderful. Thanks!
