If a person has to ask, at all, I STRONGLY advise to use a PM service for tenant placement. 

@Amol Kulkarni yeah, the founder Andrew is a great guy.The only way you won't get great service is if they've grown too big, too fast.

You may want to make an introduction between your CPA to those 2 colleagues.The CPA can go over their services and pricing to your colleagues.I partner with many people on real estate deals - It never gets to a discussion on whether they do their own tax return or hire a professional.If a partner mentions he will provide capital - does he provide the capital on a timely manner.If a partner mentions he will find deals - does he find many deals and provide an analysisIf a partner mentions he will manage a property - does he manage the property well(find tenants, collect rent, communicate with contractors, etc)

Instead of paying into someone else’s property, you could be using that allowance to finance your own real estate investment.In Germany, you have access to a stable market with long-term growth potential, and U.S. service members and government civilians have unique advantages here.

PM is a service business and time is very valuable.

My goal is to find off-market opportunities and present quality leads that fit the needs of active investors.Since I’m working remotely, I’d love to hear from experienced investors:What makes a remote bird-dogging service most valuable to you?

We use a third party servicer to do all of this - much easier and when starting just tracked payments in wuickbooks as servicer tracked everything else
