That is higher than most, but we want to see you succeed and only way to do that is to be sure every investor has room in the rent income to service unexpected issues. 

Also know where your local laundromat is and what the pickup/delivery service is.

You'll probably get better service approaching it that way than hiring a professional manager anyway.  

However the owner comes from corporate world and they started out doing deep dives into markets and moving Hedgefund type portfolios between large investors.. they then decided to offer there service to smaller turnkey type and one offs..

We like the software, but the consulting service seems taking a bit too long... we would like to have someone to help us out with set ups, automation and a general marketing plan...

In lieu of living quarters, and if your area doesn't really need the value of a garage due to weather, the best uses I have seen are full-service home offices or gyms.

Otherwise try an executive office service like Regus (local options are cheaper).

@Jay HinrichsPre-reo was owned by AHP servicing (plenty about them on here), this platform was homes that had yet to be foreclosed on (I think they were reverse mortgages) that they would sell and manage for investors.they would also finance it at 12%+ rates.

the fee-based services seem worthwhile at least while actively looking.   

I want to give my clients the best value and service and I can't think of a better group to get insight from.
