A little background about me, I have just over 200 doors in my current portfolio and our company manages just over 250 doors for third party investors in addition to those. 

I had to replace doors, carpets, repaint.

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.

Also measure the profit per door and fix or sell the dogs.

Each of the 5 warehouses on this campus will require updates (construction of offices/bathrooms, roof repairs, paint, siding repairs, new penetrations for doors, updates to electrical, insulation, and extension of water and sewer). 

Hi Meir, I haven't bought in Birmingham yet, but I do have 9 doors across Memphis and Detroit.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I'm paintimg all my doors, cabinets, and baseboards semi-gloss, specifically so I can wipe them down easier.

You opened the front door by unlocking it and then pulling a rope that lifted a lever inside.   

Hey Sarah, I'm a big advocate for self-managing even from out of state.I manage my 12-doors in Detroit and live in California.
