It sounds like you're not always hitting that mark and you're putting a lot of time/effort into putting a high quantity of houses under contract, vs a high qualify of houses. 

Contact local flooring companies and look for items in low quantity and/or clearance.  

Or, alternatively, should I hire a professional management company for peace of mind and a more harmonious living arrangement?  

With a team, you can obviously do more quantity per year, but the propits are split.

My brain always seems to go to places that tend to be frightening when it comes to artificial intelligence, though.While I could imagine all the amazing positive possibilities of this technology (think Watson as a replacement for Google or as a means to organize and understand massive quantities of data that we currently can't do), my mind always goes the direction of T2, AI, and all the other sci-fi films . . .Of course, many of the sci-fi technologies from our past are now part of our lives.....So, I wanted to ask everyone about their thoughts.

Even with a slightly smaller amount per month, you can mail a good quantity out.

Says a lot about the quantity of offers you are making.There are all kinds of strategies and tactics that may be employed.

:^) quality vs. quantity is my main dilemma now!

Flatbush is a huge neighborhood and some areas are prime (near subways, close to nicer neighborhoods) and some areas are not (no subway access, nowhere close to parks, etc).3/4/5) Out of state limits your appreciation potential and puts you at the mercy of PMs and you're never going to know the market as well as you know your home market.I also see what you're saying about scaling, but with properties, quality beats quantity.
