I feel as if you are pointing fingers at your tenant when it may not even be their fault...? 

Switched out property managers last year because the one I had had sticky fingers.

Now sometimes it would take a day or two for a return phone call but otherwsie emails were fast and their staff friendly and knowledgable, I havent had any problems so far *fingers crossed*.

-I also created an LLC during the process via the attorney (to my understanding banks don't always allow sales under LLC's, mine does -- if it didn't, I would Warranty Deed the property into my name after sale was complete)-This property has tenants until May, so I'm not worried about finding tenants immediately-Cross fingers and hold on.

Fingers crossed I can go out this upcoming weekend.

well without dual agent complexity, this is the behavior of 88.88% of bay area realtor anyway.It's almost like Mafia Cartel in disguise here, mostly bad actors LOLI have been treated worse and give 'em my middle finger

I own a construction management company and currently operate in Indianapolis and Louisville (and within the month Cincinnati) and specialize in working with remote/out of state investors.Until you have invested in an area long enough to build your own connections yourself I always suggest to just pay a little extra for a project management company to just have a little added peace of mind instead of just crossing your fingers and hoping your contractor is doing what they say.

They had 5 adults-- that's 5 people bringing in money, and they chose to give you the middle finger. 

You could tip it over with a single finger. 

G'Day Trevor,Just posted the same below to another investor asking about turnkey and my advice stays the same 😁There aren't many "true" turnkey companies around anymore and I've seen a trend where investors want to DIY out of state and country.Personally, I think this is an even bigger recipe for disaster than buying turnkey.But that's just my opinion.Back in the day you had many "turnkey" companies selling crappy properties in crappy areas for a lot more than market value.Then they pass you on to a 3rd party PM that nickel and dimes you to death.Granted, if you want to DIY I would always advise moving to the market that you want to invest in.Spending enough time with key people needed to make your venture a success.Yep, easier said than done 🤷‍♂️If you DIY from out of state, you will probably find an "investor friendly" agent that will flog you expensive property from the MLS, refer a "good" contractor and then you will most likely also get nickel and dimed by a referred "trustworthy" PM.IMO, you are safer finding a reputable turnkey provider in a market that you want to invest in and go from there.If $#%@ hit's the fan (Which it always does in real estate), at least you have everyone to blame under the same roof.A true turnkey provider will have everything an out of state investor would/want and need under the same roof.No finger pointing is allowed lolI'm bias as we offer turnkey so take my words with a grain of salt.Just happy to offer my 0.2 Aussie cents.Wishing you much success
