Keyrenter is a national franchise with over 10,000 properties under management across the country, and while we do manage multi-family, we primarily manage single family homes for investors.

I saw the biggest property managers in the area and I think the one we have been using for long term came up on that list unless “ Home Sweet Home “ is a national property management co. like Evolve and the others ..

I'm guessing national or regional banks don't really do that?

Real estate is very different.Landlord-tenant laws are only one small component of the decision-making and it's just an issue you deal with when for investing in a highly dynamic market like NYC.On the flip side, if I take my market Milwaukee: despite a chronic housing shortage, we don't have a national home builder working here.

I have found that the national banks are pretty much useless. 

From what I've heard, foreign nationals can purchase property in the U.S., but financing can be a bit of a challenge.

Most "local" QIs you'll work with are actually reps for large national companies. 

The easiest way to do that is the "Find a REIA" tab on the National REIA website.
