Bristol Ct property management

[Rich Thomas]

Hello all, I am currently a part time investor with a couple of multi family homes in my town that I self manage...I am interested in scalling up in get into the commercial side with something that has 9+ units under one roof. I am currently looking at a small apartment complex in the Bristol Ct area with 21 units....can anyone on here provide any info on the bristol area? I have never been and dont know anything about the area. I live approx 2 hours away just north of boston. What are some of my challenges in buying long distance property? Obviously I will need to hire a property management company to run the property...what is the usual percentage that a good PM company charges ? Any and all info is appreciated! Thanks Rich
