So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

The key will be the tenant screening.

The plumber had to drive to the store to get the right sized part, and then also was not told that he didn't have to install the tenant's washer which would have saved us money because he called a second plumber to come over and help him lift the washer.

@Jake HughesCost segs can be an amazing tax deferral mechanism but they are not a one size fits all solution.  

Recently acquired duplex and used Avail for everything- advertising, screening, lease signings, deposit collections, etc.

I think they screen addresses here so I send it this way.

As long as you are screening the tenants/animals well and conducting inspections, I think you'll be fine.

I think the play would be buying a property that needs some rehab and you can split off a new lot due to new lot sizes and setbacks.

I’m sure they aren’t advisable on larger projects but depending on the project size and complexity, they worked great for me. ~$650 for the study. 

before you go down the rabbit hole to far as @Bruce Lynn mentioned see if the jurisdiction were the lots are located will even allow a surface operation within their zoning code or that lot size.. thats the first thing I would do.Being an old land man I have dealt with a ton of mineral and water rights.. there is a lot to those buggers..
