Des Moines has more people, houses, and price ranges.

Have you expanded the geographical range, and gone further back in time?

What kind of price range?

Cap rates generally range from 7% to 9.5% in this current market.

- Condo prices I am thinking are in the 350k and below range.

Maintenance is bound to take more time, leading to longer vacancy periods that will cost you MORE than hiring a good PMC.

The phone rang hard and heavy.

At least in my price range. 

My Dad: $50,000-250,000 (the range is dependent on if he were to sell the NJ house and divest himself of the East Coast completely, or sell the NJ house and buy a NJ condo and use the difference to help contribute to a unit out here in LA.

Echoing more of the same - We manage 65+ units ranging from $80 a night to $2,000 a night we typically get negative reviews on a monthly if not weekly basis.
