Do managers that advertise 8% only do 8% when there's a bundle of doors to manage?

It’s been a while, but I finally managed to get back into the BP forum—great to be here again!

I am based in Virginia and licensing requirements here seem manageable.

@Steven Wetherillwhat about property management?

Quote from @Dave Chengoue: Quote from @Wale Lawal: @Dave ChengoueIt's great to see your focus on multifamily properties and your clear plan for self-management.

That's just my take on managing expectations.

We run into this especially at out parcels in grocery anchored centers, and our users generally can't make a ground lease work for the business case so the next best thing does tend to be the BTS or we often do Reverse BTS deals where the majority of the building design and management etc is done by the tenant. 

Do you think purchasing a property in Philadelphia, PA, and managing it remotely from Westchester, NY (Roughly 2-2.5 hours away) with the help of a local handyman would be too much of a stretch?

I currently manage a long term rental and working on a single family home fixer (will probably convert to rental in the future) in Cali.
