Daniel,If its something you really like from all accounts, get with an inspector and property manager to give their thoughts on the area, condition of the property etc...

Hi, I was wondering if there's any good reliable places to market tenant in place + management in place properties. 

This is how I see it:Single-Family Homes:Pros:Larger pool of potential tenants (families).Simpler management (one tenant, one lease).Often easier to finance.May appreciate faster in some markets.Cons:Only one income stream.Vacancy hits harder financially.Duplexes:Pros:Two potential income streams.Live in one unit and rent the other (house hacking!)

It's in a newly developing area with houses being built and other lots selling nearby.

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

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.

So a question, haha, and forgive me if this sounds incredibly naive - how about getting a property manager or someone else with boots on the ground to do the underwriting by visiting in person etc.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Jamie Parker: @David Mares The short answer is to build and develop the area.

Ease of management?

Not sure if you have a single STR or manage a portfolio, but I’m only managing one STR right now, and wondering how to set up that kind of payment?
