You can get multiple off-market deals per month, rehab them with reliable local crews, and flip with solid margins.

.- May not have the systems to avoid major issuesPMC Strengths- Multiple admin staff to better handle workload- More expertise (if you hire right PMC)- Have the "density" to invest in systems to get rentals more marketing exposure, better vendor pricing, better tenant screening tools, better delinquency solutions, etc.Weaknesses- May not pay attention to same metrics as owner- Getting more & more difficult for one person to know everything about 100+ doors- Bigger companies=> more red tape and right hand not knowing what left hand doing

I transitioned into the corporate world longer than intended, but I’m now fully re-engaged in real estate investing.In 2024, I acquired an Airbnb property that has achieved near-100% occupancy, reaffirming my focus on active property operations.

The turning point for engaging a property manager is often when the time cost outweighs the savings or when further scaling becomes difficult without proper systems in place.You mentioned that you currently use an agent for tenant screening and showings which is a smart approach.

The more you engage, the faster you’ll build clarity and confidence.A little about me: I’m Ebonie Beaco — Mortgage Loan Originator (NMLS 2389954), real estate investor, and educator.

Or do you do multiple deals like this simultaneously? 

Also mixing multiple sources for the same lead (like pulling from 2 different platforms) gives you backup numbers when the first one's dead.

People repeat secondhand narratives picked up from scattered corners of the internet — most of it not grounded in facts or personal engagement.

At the very least, I hope that pursuing legal action will give the contractor pause before engaging in similar conduct with other clients.That said, there are certainly lessons learned from this experience that I will take with me going forward.

Make sure you have multiple exit strategies, though.
