Hi Bobby, I'm the ops manager for the Property Management Division at Milestone Premier Properties and a licensed realtor and investor.I actually live in Denton too butour brokerage is based in downtown Denison where I commute 2x a week.

I checked the Better Business Bureau for complaints, I checked the NJ State Attorney General consumer division to ensure he was licensed, I checked every reference he gave by visiting sites and speaking with the homeowners. 

I'd done some reading in the past and thought a few of the main Canadian banks had such specialty trust divisions that could help you with plan setup.As for finding investments, networking with other investors, real estate agents, etc. is the way to go.Brian, from what I've heard is that CAN banks  make it extremely difficult to setup. 

My Daughter was a controller Intel and I think we all know whats happening with that company it has had major issues and is starting to spin off divisions and she got picked to move to Altera as the Finance director of the entire company.

Ask your broker if the brokerage has a referral division and if there are any costs.

Farmers Insurance has a vacation rental division called Foremost. 

Well one thing that is interesting in regards to Earnest Money is that you take a place like Ohio, I'd imagine it's the same in Oregon but in Ohio the Division of Real Estate regulates the activities of real estate brokerages and their trust accounts but the Division of Insurance is who regulates title companies.

Since they are responsible for maintaining the relationship with you after the transaction closes, this approach adds an extra layer of confidence and security to your investment.If you can't find an investor agent that you like or trust that is also a Property Manager or works under a brokerage that has a Property Management Division, I would ask the agent if they recommend a Property Management Company.

Otherwise find out if Hawaii has a senior advocate division.

What doesn't sound to good to be true: -A team behind her: I myself sell to investors and run a Property Management Division for y company.
