What are comparisons against comparable competition?

I am more concerned with not being able to rent the property out, compared to the buying process.

Create a simple spreadsheet or written list to compare the features of each and identify the ones that align with your requirements.

Look up comps in your target markets and see how they compare to each other. 

You never want to compare yourself to how other people might be scaling. 

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

I agree with @Patrick Franta and @Mike Neubauer that  a 1 bedroom will give you a better ROI though because you can still find relatively decent deals on 1 BRs compared to 2 Brs. 

Don't just look at their prices, also look at their services and compare them to the competition. 

@Rene Brodowsky appraisers, like most workers, will take the path of least resistance if allowed.Appears they are using an AI system to valuate your home.As suggested already, you may want to request an actual appraisal, which you will have to pay for, and send your own comparables to Huntington Bank to try to guide the appraiser.Otherwise, you may need to try a different lender.

So I am not sure of what purpose using the registered agent served as all the information would be made available?
