With training, it's great.Time spent varies from Client to Client, but I'd bet they probably spend ~30min answering our questions and clarifying transactions to close out the year.

The jobs listed aren’t close to that. 

My problem is that I have been looking in my hometown because I thought I wanted my first property to be close by to make it easier at first, but I am thinking I need to look in other markets.

Each closing, whether multi-family or single family, is going to have some of the same costs: title insurance, attorney fees, inspection fees, appraisal fees, fees associated with financing, etc.

The online tools are a good way to get a ballpark number and can sometimes be close to accurate, but a PM is able to tell you a more accurate amount. 

So, in reality every month your moving close and closer to sucking out months/years of profits via items aging out, cap-x coming to bear. 

We absolutely prioritize growing our clients portfolios and they still account for close to 65% of our monthly closings.  

I was able to list it on Airbnb within 2 weeks of the closing date!

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

We consider this issue closed.
