I’ve seen countless stories of families choosing between groceries and rent, or parents juggling eviction notices while trying to shield their children from the stress.

I get bombarded with inquiries and have lots to choose from.

My expertise is property management & I could help you with how to choose the right property management company, but it appears you are planning on self-managing.

This is why many buyers choose to pay cash even if they don't have to as they want their cash to be invested indeed, especially given the current inflation.

That hard work includes making the investments that the current owner hasn't made (nicer kitchens, new flooring, fresh coat of paint, etc.), removing tenants and marketing to new tenants.

Or you might choose to hire a handyman to do some work and manage them more closely than you would a more proficient contractor.

Any thoughts on how to choose - what metrics to evaluate, resources to read to help? 

Voluntary Compliance: A reporting company can still voluntarily comply with the law if they so choose.

Essentially the only people who CHOOSE to move in the winter months are getting evicted from other people’s houses.
