I'm thinking I could have someone manage the build as my eyes and ears when I'm working.

The #1 reason that Landlords fail, according to the American Apartment Owners' Association, is the landlord's failure to manage to the lease.  

If there is a property manager, your success rate is going to be very low.   

Hey Barbara, I have a property manager I can recommend for the LAIC service.

Quote from @Doug Teasdale: Quote from @Dustin Tucker: Hello Doug,  Here is the Arizona Association of Realtors Forms page.https://www.aaronline.com/manage-risk/sample-forms/residenti...You will probably need to use the Residential Resale Contract.For the Buyer as an example use "Doug Teasdale and/or assigns"  This allows you to assign the contract to your wholesale buyer.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Especially if you are hiring property management.

At the time QB was not the best for property management.

We got out of condo conversions couldn't really sell any of them and transitioned to ground up development of single family homes and three story walkup triplexes on a build to rent model which is much easier for us to manage and our exit isn't a sale it's just a refinance. 

How much are you having to pay the management companies?
