Hello everyone,
I�ve been spending quite a bit of time on this forum and really appreciate the time everyone takes to help their fellow TOTV members. I have to ask for your indulgence one more time.
As I�ve indicated in previous posts, we purchased a lot in Fernandina last month with the intent on building prior to the end of November 2012. Our original idea was to place this home in the rental pool with a local property management company in time to take advantage of the January and forward 2013 rental season. When I performed a search for �Rental Property Management Companies� on this forum I was shocked to see all the negative posts on the local management companies. It seems that many of the members have moved away from a professional management company and are managing the rental process on their own. We live in Southern California and would prefer not to take on this process on our own � especially during the first year we have the home in the rental market.
1) Has anyone had a positive experience from a local management company? (I�m hoping that only the bad ones were mentioned in these previous posts).
2) Are there any other resources I can use to assist with the rental process if in fact I can�t find an acceptable management company?
We�ll be in TV next month and would like to meet with a few companies/resources to get a better understanding of our next steps.
Thanks again everyone,
AlanC
