Also, What do you consider growing to a moderate size?

Findlay is a real oppotunity beause you’ve got a combination of stable job sources, a decent population size, and often lower acquisition costs compared to bigger metros.About choosing an agent..

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

This is something their screening probably would have caught, or their system would have a legal procedure to deal with it.

By house hacking, you're immediately positioned as a landlord, which will adequately pressure you to learn how to structure your leases, screen applications, collect rental payments, resolve the nuances of managing tenants and addressing property issues, etc.

It's adjustable based on size, erring on the side of generosity.
