My main focus on Florida stems from an established working relationship with a property management company there.

These companies are fly by night hence why they don't buy their own properties...

I'm thinking that I need to go to an electronic receipt tracking system, I've been doing it old school all these years - dump them on my desk, some month down the road go through them all and file them to folders for reach property, start a new folder each year. 

Quote from @Rodney Davis: Has anyone done a deal with this company, Strategic Investments Partners? 

Prior to the GFC I had a pretty robust HML company with 20 plus employees doing 60 HML a month through out the mid west Rust belt and deep south by 2010 It was over like 95% of all HML we all got our butts handed to us..

If you're going to school FT do you want to manage this property? 

Just old school grunt work. 

Or using a company ?

@Kim LeduffIn our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Quote from @Zach Rumfield: This particular property might make for a good house for professors or staff at Delta State if anyone has connections to that school.
