North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee round out the five leading growth states.And, for the fifth year in a row, California reflected the largest net loss of one-way movers, according to the data.

@Nate LaBlancesome PMs would probably be willing to do one-time showings, screenings, and placement for a month's rent, and then turn management back over to you. 

If you plan to scale, I would get one right away on your first property.

The last few years we've just been nickel and dime-ing it--  picking up small value add add-ons near existing properties and recently did a "trade-up" 1031 exchange sale/purchase for a newer/better neighborhood property with one less but larger higher rent units.

(Late fees would be one example.)

I'm considering increasing that last one as property values go up.

My family actually have some properties in FL, and I have also researched this area quite a bit and I saw it might fit my strategies. 

But that doesn't mean they can be perfect for you.You may be in a situation where you don't even need one however. 

I've shown partners & clients properties anywhere from Rockford to Kankakee, and anticipate continuing to do so. 

Especially the ones where I had doubters saying it couldn't be done or my strategy was wrong.What's next?
