I can send you their contact information, if interested but those properties are scattered throughout the Midwest and Southeast.For vetting a team out in NC, I lived out there while in the Marine Corps, and I just interviewed many, worked with many, and got recommendations from people that I trusted out there, and so far they seem to really be taking care of things, so I hope it continues. 

One more thing I don't like about SFR is it takes a serious amount of time to visit every property scattered all over the place and you can visit more units at the same time with multi-unit properties.

As I grew up in a family that only invested in land and then resold it.I would venture to guess you have bought the cheap stuff that is scattered all around the west..

The reality is Detroit is a block by block market filled with values that scatter all over the place along with problems that arise as they would in any other marketplace.I think the issue is people that sell your properties in Detroit glorify the returns and fail to explain the risks associated with investing in such markets along with the actual values of these homes.

Our families are scattered across the world so we'd like to spend some time with them once the situation improves, while keeping Seattle as our homebase.
