When you've got tenants in a property that wasn't built for multiple units, you'll generally have many more problems with noise transfer, causing you to have more frequent turns.  

What characteristics do you personally look for when choosing a property management company?

@Charlie MacPherson   I see these $5,000 fees attached to short sale listings more and more frequently.

Its well worth it,  and they also offer frequent training,   attorney-reviewed rental forms that are correct and legal for seattle, etc.,  as well as organized and effective local advocacy.

I lived in Johns Creek for 20yr of my life until I moved away for the military 6 years ago, but I visit frequently.

I have had somewhat frequent turnovers.
