Can you find something cheaper and run by a competent property management company?

Interesting - I have been investing in Philly for 8 years, run a  group of 2500 small landlords, speak at lots of events, know and network with many of the players  . . . but never heard of him before.

I am happy to pay a competent firm to keep me from violating the terms of my plan and answer questions, but somehow I fear that no one will want my account because the banking part is outsourced to Titan Bank (which is not paying interest, so I should probably switch from them too) and perhaps there are no custodial fees to be had the way this plan was set up. 

And that BNB that just got 40% of their investment back is now competing with you, the small investor with a single condo that you paid full price for with no tax benefit. 

The higher the cash ROI the longer the wait because there are fewer of those and you’re likely competing against a large pool of investors like me.  

I’m not sure if that helps.Why not fire the PM and get a new competent PM to fix this mess?

Get C-ompetent help, not just S-omeone.

I see a lot of 250-300k 3/2 for sale that are going to compete with the new builds, and that size is only renting for 1800-1900 to month max, so I find that the numbers don't work for me, or are very marginal at best.  

We try to go 1 step further than the national builders we are competing with.

Just make sure whomever you work with is halfway competent and communicates well, the latter is the most important.
