@Zach Lemaster  I think Zach will have one of his team help you I am sure. they are extremely responsive to their clients.

I have made numerous clients extremely wealthy.

Heartless and has an agendaIt's ironic you say this because the site is extremely friendly to your profession. 

However, I've also seen feedback that eXp is best for seasoned agents (which I am not), and new agents may not get the support they need, unless they have a good sponsor.Any feedback or insights on selecting a brokerage from part-time agents would be extremely appreciated.

The property management software makes it extremely easy and efficient.

One other thing I didn't mention is that our timeline for moving is extremely flexible and we would not make our plans until after we have found a suitable tenant (even if that means staying with a friend or renting something short term locally), so at the moment I am a bit inclined to want to try things ourselves using some of the recommendations from @Nathan Gesner, @Chris Berry and others.I also did a a rough analysis based on the two local PMs I have researched and the potential cost savings would be over $6,000 a year.

Diversify your sources of information, for crying out loud.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.

So any help, advice, or guidance will be extremely appreciated.
