Anyone out there with a background in this stuff that has an opinion?

My wife is on the board of one of the HOAs, but both HOAs are using the same property management company to handle the accounting and day to day property management issues.The question for this post is, can some recommend a property management company that will handle a small number of units - either 14 or 7, and work with an HOA and is in Oakland.Here's the background -- the current property management company apparently only manages much larger complexes -- 100 units and up -- and so is not doing a good job with this small fish of a property.

Zillow, Hotpads and the like are dominate for rental listings.  

You mentioned you're into interior design - with your background, have you considered partnering up with investors focused on fix & flips, or maybe even some general contractors? 

Post ads on Craiglist/Postlets/etc with rent, minimum salary of 3x to be approved, no evictions, all positive references from previous landlords, clean background check.2.

A little background. its a 4 unit building, rents are at market already.

We talked a bit about my background as an investor and landlord and, as I said above, she sold it in less than a week.

I mentioned my license here as a bit of background experience. 

Generally speaking you could put down $25k a piece on two solid B-Class duplexes or you could take the majority of the $50k & grab yourself a really high rent A-Grade duplex.To get some background on what I mean when I say B-Class or A-Grade check out The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods.
