@Xavier Aliche Most property managers operate the same.Your questions should center more around the quality of customer service. 

My take is that predatory practices and threats must be controlled, and housing quality must be enforced.

Would any investors in the area be willing to point me in the right direction of high quality property management companies? 

I'm super sad that such a great idea and content is damaged by the quality of the leadership.

What can be done is switching to more risk averse investments (property quality, location and financial structure) during the later stages of a cycle.  

You may find a 3/2 of equal quality and same neighborhood one producing $100k a year in income the other doing $55k and then you know about how much having a pool will affect income.

We were very unhappy with the timeliness and quality of the work on this project as well as the quality of our communications with Ryan Poske (CEO at Bildwise and our primary point of contact).

These measures will not only improve the quality of life for residents but also reduce the dependence on cars, which is particularly important for those without access to private vehicles.

Our background is primarily in software, which we hope to use originate differentiated, high-quality deals.

A high quality SFR in Austin will pay dividends in the long-run, and don't invest for anything but that. 5-6 years is too little, but if you are to expose yourself to that I would still take Austin.Those deep parts of SW FL are cyclical with retirement up & downs on economic recessions.
