The issue is not the contract, the issue is going to be enforcing the contract, the individual who was selling this could hold this up for years and cost you tens of thousands in legal fees, and then they file bankruptcy and stall it another 5 years.

Value is based on each individual and they will need to determine if they think there is any value.

I really don't know the market there well enough to guess the definitive answer but I know when I break down the data in my own market, I see a wide variation in price trends in the individual price bands.

So I said all of that to say... lol, Yes, I think you can absolutely find a PM that would help answer some questions, and I hope you find some kind individuals. :-) All the best!  

So the question becomes based on their individual and personal tax situation what is the estimated tax burden they'd save? 

As a result, this isn’t the kind of market that attracts top-tier PM talent.Your best solution might be to either:1.Take on self-management if possible (and if you’re willing to put in the time/effort).2.Find an individual you can trust to handle these properties, set up very specific instructions and processes, micro-manage them initially to ensure standards are met, and compensate them well to make it worth their while.This approach requires more oversight on your part but can yield better results in markets like this.

For individuals with full-time jobs in other industries, meeting this threshold is challenging unless real estate is a substantial focus outside regular employment.

I would prefer an individual PM (not associated with any company) to manage my 3 doors in FL..

Personally I like 1 savings and 1 individual checking for each property.

I’m so happy to be here and would love to connect with like minded individuals 😁Welcome!
