Great to see you re-engage with the community.

I grew up in the industry and still have a hard time with holding contractors accountable.thx Adam - We agreed from the start that we would pay the $500 a month as they sounded great in an interview , go to town council meetings on our behalf , and do some in house work like put up blinds  and minor repairs that is included in that fee.

Listings with higher engagement and satisfaction may be prioritized in search rankings.

but it doesn't sound like that from your post.

Sounds like you “found your niche” in real estate Stephen.  

It sounds like there's a bit of a vacuum in reliable local property managers.I was originally thinking of setting up a property management company to take care of the properties that my partner and I purchase.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Was curious how separated I could make the two, but doesn’t sound like it’s that simple.   

sounds like it was pretty competitive.. 

Again, this is a broad question to engage people's thoughts on the subject matterPlease feel free to share your thoughts and ideas
