So, owners mistakenly think price is the only differentiator – and look for a PMC like they’d shop for groceries☹We encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others by reading posts here on BiggerPockets from owners that picked a PMC solely by price and regretted it.We recommend 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.Even if someone gives you a referral, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that just because a PMC met their expectations, they’ll meet your expectations.

Showing → “I like it” → No application means one thing: frictionEvery time a tenant says they want the application and doesn’t submit it, that usually means:application link isn’t obviousthe process feels too long or confusingthey wanted to shop around before paying an app feethey’re borderline qualified and stallingMake sure your follow-up system is tight:Send the app link within 5 minutes of the showingFollow up again 24 hours laterThen again 48 hours later saying:“Just letting you know we’re reviewing apps soon, want to make sure you get first priority.”You’d be shocked how many people apply only because you followed up.Typical timelinesFor my rentals, at the price point you're listing:3–5 days to get first applications10–14 days to lock in a qualified tenant30+ days only when rent is too high or tenant pool is extremely smallYou’re still very early, but if you want to accelerate things, I’d tweak price slightly and tighten the follow-up.

Two tips: underwrite BRRRRs to work at 70–75% LTV so the refi’s a layup, and shop 2–3 DSCR lenders because DSCR minimums and rent-factor assumptions vary more than people think.What LTV and DSCR are you targeting as your floor on that High Point duplex, and which lenders have you checked so far?

Definitely don't overlook physical bulletin boards at the library, grocery store, or coffee shop; they still surprisingly generate leads here. 

International capital doesn’t go shopping for land the way retail investors browse MLS.

About half of it describes the area, local shops, but nothing meaningful to the properties condition.

One thing I think you probably already know that most of these shops or call centers do is put their loan processors or Lo's on a very low comp plan. 

Quote from @Danielle Solovyeva: Hi Jakub, I'm in a fantastic training with Avery and Luke Carl through the short term shop.

I was considering looking for property managers now while I shop around for properties.

Yikes, when I was originally shopping for property management they seemed to be highly regarded and even a little snobby in terms of which properties they would service or not.
