Always interested in something that can improve operations.

Appraisers do not like being told how to do their job!

Thanks @Max Emory & @Jake BakerI am in the process of test driving Stessa to see if it helps with improving my efficiency on the property management side, including keeping track or insurance, property taxes, maintenance etc.

Timing can sometimes be as valuable as improvements in this business.

I am local in Arlington and do pay significantly less than $200/pier but I have developed a strong relationship with my foundation contractor and give him multiple jobs a year. 

Rockford seems to be improving, but what areas are a "no go" for buy and holds?

My comment there was the same as it is here - the problem all these people have is not working a regular job. 

I have seen too much of how bad of jobs contracts can do when left to their own devices.  

I know Property Meld has something built into their Maintenance dashboard where it asks for reviews after maintenance issues are handled and I think if they rate 4 or 5 starts they then ask for a google review and if it's 3 or below it stays internal and gets circulated around so the team can figure out what went wrong and improve on it.

They did a great job.
