I would be managing myself and...I just have A lot to think about.

My focus is shifting from cash flow to equity management as well as our portfolio mix.

I ended up getting around 9 deals under-contract, while constantly being pressured by my manager to get more deals under-contract or he would publicly mock us in front of everybody.

From what I have heard, Dayton is a similar market, and you will ALWAYS save money by investing locally by not needing to hire a Property Manager (yet).

I believe the property manager needs be on island (but i could be wrong).

I asked for a refund outside the 3 days (ridiculous time frame to give to clients but it tells you everything you need to know about the company just didn't realise on time) but I told them I didn't receive the login until the 4th day and that I am the one who requested so I would still be missing the login of wasn't for me that didn't seem to make sense to Kevin the manager there who by the way called me a week later.

They both own thier own management companies as well, so they understand the needs for investors when it comes to insurance.Best,Brad 

I am an accredited investor, looking to invest 50k to start since it’s my first one, and predominately interested in multifamily as my only previous experience is a rental I manage on Airbnb.

With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.

This phenomenon not only poses significant risks to property owners and managers but also threatens the integrity of rental transactions.
