It's all the about the location and the view.

I've hired social media experts (a little different) that work under a similar structure and it's been working great.Not to mention team off-sites if you guys are located in the same area also help a ton.

The house is located in Utah County, and I think over time it will appreciate very quickly relative to other markets.

Oftentimes the rest of our family can't make it so we just keep renting it and go somewhere else.I am thinking you will find that will happen as well.Can you tell us where it is located?

Over this time I have acquired my contractor team and have vetted them through my job as a property manager, figured out my strategy(Off Market/Deep buying) and location.

I'm located in Central VA, I think research on school districts/military areas and hospitals are a really good start when looking for a great area to invest. 

Depending on the location of your properties, an assistant might be much better than a property management company.

LTR could get $3200-3400.3-just purchased in August a townhouse in Costa Mesa California 3 miles from the beach walking distance from the back bay great location.

You already decrease that ability by buying property in undesirable locations.

Location and paying attention to Nathan's points above about the immediate area are more important.
