The problem is, many of these cities started out by expanding services to make it easier to afford to live there. 

If you're looking for some unbiased feedback on services providers we get a lot of recommendations from our customers and networks and would be happy to pass these along. 

There is nothing here that seems unreasonable, I would push back on the $75 in person service, and I want 3 bids on every reno project if they're charing 12.5% to manage.

Terrible software, terrible customer service, and terrible company.

From a “landlording” lens, however, I’d recommend recruiting a solid team of locals (e.g. attorneys, leasing agents, property managers, contractors, etc.) who can help you with closing, leasing, maintenance, repairs, and capex.New construction and turnkey assets are also popular among long-distance investors, since you either won’t have to do much maintenance or capex at the outset (in the case of new construction) or can work with a single, full-service point of contact (in the case of a turnkey property).

The requirements are:1 - You must be personable and have the ability to answer questions with more than one word answers.2 - You must have high-speed internet of at least 15 mb/s (preferably 20mb+)3 - You must have a web camera (we record audio and video for all shows) and we do require a decent microphone.

Thank you for your service. 

Hey CJ, I definitely don’t think you should be lowering the standard of good service.

A call to customer service fixed this.  

About imagining Capex you're looking at two things equipment end of service life replacement costs, including downtime of the unit for turns if there are problems getting the equipment quickly.
