Ken, You're changing the subject to something neither of us ever discussed.The only thing you claimed was that having no-debt on a SFR property makes no sense, because of your theory that the government is going to be massively raising taxes on property owners to "oppressive" levels.

No one's perfect and honest mistakes happen and a PMC often needs guidance as to what level an owners wants to maintain their property.Wasn't trying to solicit your business,so I'll respond via DM about the rest of your questions:)

It’s great to hear you’re ready to take things to the next level in the residential space.

What was their level of speed & competence? 

Hopefully on some level I've hit my mark~!

It does not appear that many newbies (or experienced) investors are buying much (transaction levels are at record lows). 

Pricing and risk levels are about the same for the same type of stuff in either city.

Due to a very high entry level in my home state (Long Island, New York), I have turned to look at out of state markets, particularly Augusta, Georgia. 

Once you know who in your circle has $ to invest, you then need to understand their risk to reward level so you know what deals fit their bucket.

That said, you deserve a management team that treats your properties with the same level of care and attention as they would for larger clientsI’ve heard from other investors that finding a great PM company can be a game-changer.
