I think not hiring a PM might be based on the following:1) How far you live from all your properties.2) If you have a very reliable handyman nearby your properties who can be a "point person" to asses issues when necessary.3) If you don't mind doing the advertising, interviewing and showing your properties when you have potential tenants.I have had 10 rentals until recently and I did all the PM work for 12 years.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

What price range would you target on the next purchase? 

Before I began investing with them, I had a business-owner relative in the DFW area provide feedback on the target area and visit the target complex, and only proceeded after they gave the thumbs up. 

Also, for advertising, you must follow the rule of no more than 2 people per bedroom plus 2 additional guests on couches.If you need more information or help with the registration process, just let me know—I’d be glad to assist!

Im selling a Charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home in the heart of Miami With a tenant already in place, this property is producing great income from day one. But got not visitor is the market slow? Is it better to take...

Now if they dont meet your advertised qualifications then you can deny them or if the property will not pass inspection you can suggest that be an issue to them.  

If you watch the scene in The Exorcist where Father Damien Karras is with his mother, the radio is playing an advertisement in Greek for Astoria Park.With an endorsement like that, who wouldn't want to live there?

We invested $15,000 in targeted renovations, enhancing both the property's interior and exterior.

these deals are done with your commercial banker .. they are not something that is advertised or talked about.. its why I keep all my accounts and my affiliated companies accounts at my commercial bank. you need to be able to talk to your personal banker and that banker needs to be in a Senior position.. thats how it worked for me.
