Metron and Southern Water Management are two that we've been talking to.

The managers are non-communicative.

That is a good thing but if you have never managed it can still go sideways.

If you move, renting in NYC and buying an out-of-state property could work, but make sure you have a solid plan for managing it.If you stay, buying in an affordable market and living there for a while could be a good option.

I'm Igor - a revenue management expert with over 10 years of experience in the hospitality industry.

we just managed to get ong to run all new lines and separate meters for our whole apartment complex at no cost to us. 

I've managed up to 400 rentals and never offered a concession.

The model opens a pool of possibilities for owners who are prepared to hold and manage the property long-term.

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.

Servicing tasks can be outsourced to administrative assistance and new agents.If you have trouble with time management make this a daily habit.
