Did you speak with them prior to purchase to understand their process?

Find comparable rentals on various websites.

But honestly, you'll want to shop around and compare a few local PMs since fees and services can vary quite a bit.

@Luke H.If the buyer is living in the property now it’s a consumer loan compared to a loan to an investor and will kick in a lot more regulationsYou can’t do a balloon less than 5 years, need to have it serviced by a licensed servicer, will have to go by interest rate usury laws, collect escrow…..I would not loan on this property to an owner occupant

And lastly, I search FunishedFinder listings nearby, find comparable properties, and track the listed rent for a few months (does it increase, decrease?).

In fact, its become quite apparent that number crunching ranks rather low on the necessary skills for real estate compared to networking and communication and other business skills. 

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.

Applicants have a prior eviction years due to unfortunate circumstance but good household income and noted they are in a better place financially.

Prior to 1976 they were considered pre-HUD. 

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.
