Going to wager dude didn't get them for not paying rent.

I'd wager then I invest in 90% blue cities in 100% of red states for my true REI.

Throw in the fact its a county seat, has access to not only rail, but regional air, three US highways, two state routes and a state park, and I would wager there should be many more than 10,000 people there.

We wagered it would cost less if we just spent time sourcing the right people.

There are also owners that buy at $30,000 home that is dilapidated, in the worst part of town, and not in rentable condition to anyone that has a job or just standards in general.I suppose there is the chance that you were done wrong by 5 property management companies, and had a run of horrible tenants, but I would wager a guess you got what you paid for. 

I'm gonna offer a different perspective than what's been noted just so you see another option.What if you sold your primary and parlayed that into a 4 family in Boston? 

That gives me enough traction to make a large wager. $220/$300 per $10k upside is very enticing.

Unfortunately, charging by the hour would just create another problem - owners thinking they should only pay a PMC minimum wage rates, "because it's so easy to do".Owners don't want to recognize that property managers have invested years in learning what they do - just like owners have in their careers!

Anyway, nobody checks back in after their enthusiastically shared idea fails, but I would wager this will. 

Parlay those two facts along with the ins-and-outs of tenant-friendly RLTO, and you will need to fully commit to be successful.
