i tend to agree with @Dan H..the market has changed, AND real estate is still a good long-term investment.it seems to me that in addition to rates increasing, there is more competition. 

I am just contributing positively with people who ignores the law for lack of knowledge.second:Gives landlords a bad name??

BTW,  I would encourage you to open your criteria to distressed properties, tax liens, probate, divorce, etc..if you don't want to compete in the competitive market.   

Their policy changes including price increases, charging for every little thing as an "add-on", complicated GUI and the lack of fixes of known problems (posted by their "community" on a Facebook Group), and super slow ACH deposits (which take 10+ days!)

We come across a lot of owners super frustrated with their current manager and the main issue seems to be communication, on top of cleaning/maintenance and lack of attention to detail.

That said, it's surprising to see a lack of diverse competition in this space.

They don’t consider their lack of action.

So I just look at the competition in my area and price accordingly.Nothing to it really.

Once you have an idea of what you can do you want to evaluate the site and the market for competition.
