If you are new to investing we also need to spend some time somewhere, maybe 1hr to talk about your expectations and the realities of the market and see if there is correlation.Interestingly enough I think with the NAR lawsuit some expected commissions to go down. 

I am happy to hop on a call to share more of my local expertise and if you're still looking for professional property management, I can talk to you more about that.

I think the unsuccessful and struggling units who have not jumped ship yet will continue to do so, leading to less supply, increasing demand, and a better year for the successful units. 

I talk to so many people who regret not getting a PM up front because they are having problems or high eviction rates doing it alone.

Nathan I think this is true if your just talking about rental props for landlording.. the last 2 to 3 years have been the best years of my career.. building new builds and Loaning our funds.

Many banks securitize their loans (bundle them together) and sell the loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, while continuing to service the loans, that is collect your payment.

If you hire a PM, your financial account structure can be simpler.If you plan to continue purchasing rentals, I like some key accounts at the "management" level (income, opex, tax, owncp, reserve) and only have 1 checking account per property to prevent having 100 accounts and unnecessary complexity.

I'll continue to make it clear that I won't bend on rent collection while being nice & sympathetic.

My account was corrupted 6 months ago and can't talk to anyone other than a bot.Pretty terrible customer service....drove me to quickbooks....any discounts there?

I'm talking about tax season!
