This can help set you apart from many other players in your market. 

I'm not interested in engaging in a discussion on whether you should or should not choose Cleveland as a place to invest in due to the obvious conflict of interest as well as the fact that convincing people to invest in the market I operate in is not really a big profit producing activity. 

If so, it seems like they are not marketing to the vast majority of potential buyers (because even these big players have <20% market share in any given market).

You can engage another PM company to manage the new properties and this will give you a backup/bench player and keep your checks and balances.  

Thanks so much, I will definitely keep updating and trying to get more engaged in Bigger Pockets again.

@Jason ClecklerIf this is a genuine tax partnership in that it is subject to Subchapter K and files a 1065, you're going to want to engage a tax CPA who will take into consideration your facts, circumstances, and goals so that the buyout can be structured advantageously. 

The worst errand you can make is not actually engaging in that errand. 

You convince folks from the heart and not through logic, debating, arguing, or attorneys - you can "win" with the latter, but it's so much more peaceful & simpler to engage them as a friend & neighbor.
