Hello All,
I joined and posted today because it has recently come to my attention that investors have been way over charged in the area of maintaining their investment properties.
I will first tell you that I own a property maintenance company in the Central/Northeast area of Florida - based in Palm Coast Florida since 2004.
Second I need to tell you that my posting is not an attempt for your business. My business deals with investment property AND new construction...we are doing fine; I am just tired of actually seeing people smell money and go after every last dime possible.
I recently sent letters to approximately 250 investors nationwide who invested in this area and (of course business would be nice) my main concern is to let investors know that they have options. I am sure this is not the only area in the country that this is happening in.
Parts of my letter:
Investment properties, albeit exciting and profitable, if you are not careful you may be spending more on your investment than is necessary. (regarding work needed)...many services that are necessary for investors to maintain the value of their homes and to continue monetary growth as well as cash flow... Why pay double the costs for someone else to make this phone call for you?
Please don't allow a person or a company tell you its the best price they could get without researching it yourself. Paying directly to those who did the work will greatly reduce your bill.
You could start by searching the internet, asking many other investors in the same area as your investment will help you as well. Keep in mind some companies (like mine)don't list themselves in the yellow pages. Asking your fellow investors is best, your builders can be helpful as well.
Asking your managemnet company may not be as good only because referring you to deal directly with others cuts out their piece of the pie.
Good Luck!
