But in truth a MoM will always want for your business to WIN.  

I personally never hear stories of the turn key provider spending extra sound proofing between units or investing in better quality fixtures or other high touch building materials so that the end buyer can enjoy reduced maintenance costs and better tenant engagement.

I just wanted to get some extra details to make sure I'm relaying the information correctly.

You'd just need to be extra diligent about your research and have a solid team on the ground there.

Once you have the difference, assuming that both options fully pay the mortgage, consider wether or not all the little tasks you do daily while self managing are worth the extra income.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

I know that what I'm asking is high for a 1 bedroom, but it's really large (1,200 SF), and has 2 extra rooms (altho they shouldn't be bedrooms because no windows). 

I would love to hear insights from people who are doing higher marketing volumes and what high level strategies are working (I know you can't reveal all your tricks).The truth of the matter, is that since real estate investing and picking up houses for pennies on the dollar, now requires no money (except to pay the guy selling the program), no experience necessary and is guaranteed to make you rich, with little effort and no risk or problems, with immediate results, that now everybody is doing it.  ;-)

All the county told me is that I'll have to do some landscaping work, add extra parking spaces, but I don't know anything about the stormwater plan. 

For the record I read both Fox News and CNN and I realize that the truth is somewhere in between the two.
