Performed as the GC What was the outcome?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

The original six month tenant I had extended the lease 9 times and stayed a total of 5 years, paying me about $15k over market rent annually.  

I self perform most of my construction at this point and find it very difficult to make ground up construction pencil in Philadelphia unless I am selling for $400/ft.

.- PM is contractually obligated to perform annual maintenance/inspection to keep property in top shape. - PM provides a cash based accounting report every month, for every unit under management, that clearly labels all rent, all expenses, including management fees, and the net directly ties to the amount of money deposited into my bank account.- PM is a licensed handyman, or has them on staff, and takes care of most unit turn work at a reasonable rate. - PM has no breakup/termination fee- PM does not take project management fees, except on large or complicated CapEx projects exceeding $5,000. 

Model the performance of the property.

For durability check the max weight and look for performance fabric options. 

These are the top three features I always keep in mind when evaluating a potential property:1️⃣ Location Matters: Properties near attractions, with great walkability, or offering something unique—like a waterfront or mountain view—tend to perform better.
