Depending on the strategy you end up going with will probably dictate what property manager makes the most sense as they all have their different niches they excel at.

I take it your lease does not dictate who handles this? 

The reason I say could is because your current income, tax situation, and real estate investments can dictate if buying real estate might benefit you.

Since I started in real estate investing, I've researched all the exit strategies and understand that the property often dictates which strategy to use.

I will agree with Juul  but not the other examples the banks did not create the mortgage mess as you state is was the secondary market that dictated what paper they would buy.. banks and mortgage brokers just worked with the play book they were given.
