As the CEO of another turnkey outfit in Birmingham, AL, I can assure you that MI is one of the industry leaders.

And I will definitely find and meet up with some REIs as soon as possible; the only people I have gotten to talk to so far on the subject are successful small business owners and the market sales leader of the Marriott hotels in the Southern region.

My experience has been that the tenant typically associates the manager/leader to the person they have a signed lease with.  

Heck the few thousand I charged was a loss leader.

There's a company down here in San Diego that has senior leaders who live there, headquarter the company there, but spend most of their time in San Diego (rent here) because that's where a good chunk of the operational infrastructure is.  

I'm not even sure the IRS is going to pursue them as issuing 1099's had been used to harass people, like political opponents, unpopular leaders etc.

Anybody can start a meetup, but you have to be consistent and it should have a leader.

Also, I'm with you on the best servant leader of all.

A lot of knowledge in that office and certainly a leader in our industry.

They are well priced especially for being the leader in this space.
