Some people love the larger companies and some people prefer the smaller ones.  

I'm not trying to be a jerk but truly trying to understand where this cash flow is coming from buying in 2023-2024, although I can understand with Columbus I could see it appreciating with those companies moving there.

I utilize a PO Box as well.It wouldn't be hard for our tenants to find out where we live (tax assessor's online tool) ~ But for $50/yearly ... it gives me a bit more piece of mind :)

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

If so, self-managing properties might not be the best use of your time - In any case, I'd encourage you to talk to multiple local property management companies, keep the above in mind, and understand how they approach management.In my experience, property management isn’t just about finding the right tenant or collecting rent—especially in a tenant-friendly state like Rhode Island.

The seller responded that since the issue was repaired and he believes there is no ongoing problem, he did not think it needed to be disclosed.When I asked him to extend the inspection period so I could follow up with the repair company and conduct my own inspection, he declined.I disagree with this interpretation.

@Phillip Austin we've looked into these and it's our opinion they should only be used with Class A tenants, maybe Class B - deifinitely NOT Class C or D tenants.Several companies in this area will no longer allow S8 leases or tenants under 600 credit scores - because of the high number of claims & corresponding claim amounts.

By 2030, we want to have grown a portfolio of over 100 units, created a property management company that manages an additional 100-200 units, and, finally (and most importantly), we will have established a non-profit that is focused on quality, affordable housing that specializes in providing housing and resources at/on the "services cliff" alongside financial counseling and first-time home buyer education in our target area.Our target area is the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas with dreams to expand to Central Massachusetts (Worcester, MA), Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), and Southern Connecticut (New Haven, CT).Would love to meet up with likeminded individuals in our area!

I used to own a large SFR management company I sold to Evernest in 2019 and I manage a Kroger SC and a set of retail condo suites for a client now but it isn't my thing. 

And if you are need of MTR management services, my company, Island Stays Hawaii, provides premier STR and MTR management services.
