I think it's more about the people honestly - if I decide that I'm going that route than I'd narrow it down to 4 or 5 cities and I'd try to meet some agents and property management companies from there. 

Already has a road but a little narrow.  

If it’s very necessary for me to narrow down the terms, a deal could look like this…Last January I had this property under contract for 600,000 as is, I ended up backing out of the sale because selling is not really what I want to do.

@Jordab Ohana Can you narrow down the type of commercial leasing that interests you? 

@Aaron Raffaelli we call all the cities that touch Detroit, the Ring Cities - except the Grosse Pts.These cities are mostly Class B and are solid rentals.Detroit overall has gentrified to Class C, but at least a third of the city is Class D still.Check out the interactive map on our website and watch for whats coming...

Do I want something a bit more active or passive (how much time do I want to spend on this property or property project) That should start help you narrowing things down a little and once you're clear on all of that you'll have different criteria to overlay on when looking at deals in Perth/Melb/USA to fitCheers

In the past when I am looking for a property manager I google to find all managers with physical offices in close proximity to my properties to narrow my search and ignore all sponsored adds that fake that they are local.Since you have self managed, you will be better equipped to "manage the manager".

My wife has been handling all the complaints that we are filing with the DA, etc.If nothing else we should all band together and file separate complaints to whoever may help us. 

I don't know what the issue is/was, but I think a lot of customers want to play games and he probably did his best to keep them on the straight and narrow.
