In both cases, having a property manager who can adapt to the specific needs of each asset type is essential.I believe that the best property managers understand that profitability and customer experience are not mutually exclusive—when both are done well, everyone benefits.Thanks for bringing up this great discussion!

But mainly my team doesn’t want to lose “this”.  

Buying an out of state rental property from a realtor, wholesaler or off facebook or zillow etc as opposed to from an operation or turnkey provider who has an active, substancial, and effective boots on the ground team or teams to support you after you close on the sale. 

Specifically, I’m curious about the following:2/2 vs. 3/2 properties: Are there significant advantages to offering a 2/2?

If I were you, I would really try to narrow down the search to three specific cities that you're interested in.

It has to do with the professional way you've handled yourself, the good communication with our team and the fact that you are closing your first house with us.  

The best way to do this is to renovate a unit or two to the specifications to bring it up to market.  

It's the only way you'll get a good idea of what the market is really doing in your area, and keeps everyone competing to find the best coverage, deductibles, and premiums for your specific account.Hope this is helpful. 

I do not have a specific credit score requirement.

I have some flexibility but rely heavily on my team for admin work and the day-to-day operations of property management.
