@Robert Zajac pretty sure BRB charges less than an 8% management fee, so just as @Nathan Gesner states, they are making up for being below the "industry standards" by charging more elsewhere.BE CAREFUL about PMCs that claim they don't charge a markup on maintenance - TIME IS ALWAYS MONEY!

Glad you have had success and continue to do well with your portfolio@Chris Lin  Sorry to hear about your place, hoping you get resolution to your issues.

My suggestion is to find some real estate industry surveys (via CBRE or others) and look for the MF cap rates in various cities/states/regions.

You can see Bridgeport is just building in old industrial space.

Though I would caution you on hard money lending until you understand the industry a bit better, that can be very rewarding but you have to be able to do your due diligence on deals because you're turning over your hard-earned money to an individuals project, often a flip. 

You just hold it, keep it occupied and well maintained, and let the years roll by. 

@Audris TienIt Is known in the industry - read the website - logically two people could not manage $1.4B in real estate?

For practitioners in the real estate industry, the biggest challenge is not just the difficult work, high risks, or immense pressure, but the necessity to learn to let go of complete control over outcomes.

Well-worth $15 used. 

Well, when goes down that's bad for buyers.
