Short term it is difficult to make the numbers work, the cost of new construction and the time it takes to zone-plan-build are usually the main reasons why private investors stay clear.

I think it's probably less common here but I've often wondered about how difficult it would be to convert a detached garage, etc. on a property from a legal standpoint.

You’ll want to invest in areas that have tenant interest but also aren't on the extreme end of neighborhood quality—this means avoiding the very toughest spots, where turnover can be high and managing tenants can be difficult.

I would just be careful hopping back in now as interest rates and low inventory are making it very difficult if you aren't finding your own off-market options to buy.

We own and manage two and one is particularly difficult during the shoulder (slow) seasons.

New realtors, new realty companies, new PMs aren't going to have those established relationships and *no* PMs give up the names of their people to anyone else because getting good people is difficult.

It's difficult to see how a tenant will be after screened and signing a lease.

The eviction process is really not that difficult as long as they don’t appeal it I’ll give you the attorneys name if you would like.  

A good manager will handle tenant communication, security deposit transfers, and ensure a smooth transition for you.Changing managers doesn’t have to be difficult—following the agreement and partnering with a competent new PM will help you get things back on track.
