As a Property Manager in a market where many owners choose to manage on their own, I've seen several examples of owners losing their homes or properties because their tenants did not pay or caused excess damage.

Ive been reading a lot recently and watching videos.

Budget for property management costs and choose 2-3 markets based on rental demand, property prices, and comfort level.Good luck!

I've had investors that come to me originally looking for multis in Baltimore end up switching to SFRs because there's a bit more to choose from, and a decent SFR is better than waiting a year for the right multi.

You assume the individual with a good application will keep the other straight and choose to rent to them.

I can choose my projects and fields I want to discover.

It sounds like you are just using metrics to choose an area which isn't a sound strategy because you are paying PM in all of the areas, but likely don't know how to manage the manager.

I made a video explaining how to find good areas and good properties to help you out.

That to me is a huge red flag, but investors will still invest because they like their youtube videos.
