Property managers
Questions to property managers that have built their company. How long did it take before it could support you? Is it hard to convince people to let you manage for them? Did you start with buy and hold and then start the management company? Is it possible to do in small towns or is the bigger metro areas better? Any advice and input would be great. It's something I have a lot of interest in and some background in.
