Considering the vacuum in reliable local property management, starting your property management company could indeed be a strategic move.

I think there are many principles that he teaches that should be considered.  

There are dozens of things to consider.

I want to be sure you are thinking this through, considering all angles, and making an informed, wise decision.

Of course, there are some exceptional cases where the seller might consider it.

I would consider single family homes as well but multifamily is the ultimate goal.

It definitely escalates the situation though, so I'd research the process and carefully consider the option before embarking on it...but if you pursue that route you can likely escrow Dec 1 rent and I'm sure that will get some attention. 

Their 14.75% fee seems high however considering they fill the property for you, manage the members and collect payments it's justifiable and you still cash flow over traditional renting.

If it were the off season and I was having trouble renting I may consider it again but overall I don't think it is worth the extra vacancy but if you are doing MTR it is definitely worth making the right connections. 

I'd consider myself an advanced, tax-savvy, solo investor with quite a bit of experience.
