With a 9-5 job too busy to catch a breather, being that it will be my first rental property would you recommend finding a property management company to oversee the investment property OR create a profile on a property management platform, I am thinking about Avail unless there is a better platform, to collect rent and hire specialist as issues arise from tenants?

Don't care for the Pistons or Cavaliers.

I’d love to hear about the crime rates or any other issues (which we cannot guess from the online stats), and how easy or hard it is to find reliable tenants and property management companies.

I would prefer an individual PM (not associated with any company) to manage my 3 doors in FL..

I will be very careful with my first investment if I were you, unless you have a rich father or uncle who is willing to finance your mistake.

.)• NNN - purchase triple net lease opportunity (1031 everything into it, managed under trust, tenant takes care of everything) • Sell each off the normal way (even spreading out one a year, heavy tax implications and truly diminishes decades of work.) • Give/donate each away-----I expect many here have already been through similar dilemmas and interested in experiences, lessons learned.

Before finalizing a decision to sell, I thought I’d get some thoughts from the BP forumThe only obvious factor I know to try to head off a problem is to carefully screen applicants.

It is a perfectly good fridge, tenants don't care.

So, you still need to be careful:)

Also a good pm company will provide a P&L every month.
