It's a city of around 55,000 about 40 minutes north east of Indianapolis and price to rent ratios are better than what you will find in Indy when taking into account area and tenant quality.

I'm looking for a PM group that has a reasonable monthly rate, manages tenant selection well, addresses property issues with quality, and conscientiously and actively turns properties when vacant.

Just like there are quality contractors.

In their favor:As homeowners and landlords they should be more reasonable and take better care of the place.Steady income with SSI and willing to hustle when they need more.They are motivated to make it work, offering more and reasonable concessions.If there is no carpet there would be less impact by dog or bed bugs, if either go worst case scenario.Not in their favor:They may be renting as a temporary situation until they can find where they really want to live long term, so they may not be a long term tenant.They are not familiar with the neighborhood, other than school district quality, so they may not be a long term tenant.What I would look at more:How long have they all lived at previous addresses?

They may really want quality cashflow as opposed to quantity, and that may mean maximizing a specific % return is secondary.

Neighborhood quality can vary street to street in some areas and there can also be stark differences in tax rates and city ordinances in some suburbs.   

City council says the bill would not be considered until after the council meeting this month.Rochester’s Housing Quality Task Force expands focus to homeownersIn order to evict a tenant or deny a renewal, landlords would have to prove the tenant did not pay rent and that it did not result from an unreasonable increase in rent, the tenant violated an obligation of the lease, is being a nuisance or doing illegal activity, or unreasonably refusing to give a landlord access, among others.

For those locals, is northeast Fort Myers any better than Lehigh for quality of tenants or is it one in the same?
