It really depends on location, quality of home features, amount of privacy for renters/members, and competition.

We will not work with anyone who has not been to Milwaukee and spent at least a couple days with us, so we can get on the same page on asset and neighborhood quality. 

I'd want to know more information to make a good recommendation, but it sounds like you would have a strong argument if everything else is the same except for location.MP tasksTenant Management:Showing properties, screening applicants, and preparing leasesWelcoming tenants and addressing inquiriesCollecting rent and managing evictionsProperty Maintenance:Cleaning, repairs, and inspectionsAdministrative & Marketing:Supervising staff, purchasing supplies, and promoting rentals (ads and website)

Of course, if you are doing a lot of buying and selling, it is always good to know who the players are because there are some that do top quality work and others that do not.

We pay a few hundred dollars for a professional quality pitchbook with the financials and that has been money well spent.

With regard to your "DST" and as with many highly structured tax vehicles that have a potential "self dealing" quality to them, there are a number of potential potholes you can easily step in along the way (e.g., constructive receipt doctrine, effective control over nominal 3rd party relationships, lack of genuine risk bearing and compliance with transactional terms, etc.).

Hi, As a property manager (based in Chicago), I have to say the screening process is paramount, because its the start of your relationship with various prospects.

Additionally for hosts who opt for enhanced screening, the eviction rate is under 2%. 

I learned that it's better to go for quality the first time if you want it to last.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
