Ultimately it was the customer service and poor quality of my post cards that caused me to leave.

As you already know, the quality of the investor agent will speed up your learning curve, and save you money, time, and headaches. 

Some key qualities to look for include:- **Responsive communication**: A PM company that keeps you in the loop and addresses issues promptly- **Local expertise**: Knowledge of the Birmingham market and experience with Section 8 tenants.- **Proactive maintenance**: Regular inspections and quick resolution of maintenance issues to keep tenants happy and properties in good condition- **Transparent reporting**: Clear and detailed financial reports so you know exactly where your money is goingIf your current PM isn’t meeting these standards, it might be worth exploring other options.

Appreciation is a real thing and not only this the demand for quality low-income housing is real. 

For the duplex, would you consider it to be in a high quality (A), medium (B), or low (C) neighborhood?

I've seen folks charge as high as $5,000 to $10,000 for tax planning and tax preparation, But i also know high quality folks that have fees are around $1,200 to 2k.

Depending on local regulations, you can mix up STR/MTR/LTR. 2) Get systems in place in those exact cities; 2 PMs preferably via NARPM, 2 high quality inspectors, and rotating book of handyman, 1 lawyer, and a credit union contact for leverage along with investor friendly nationwide lenders.

Most quality markets worth investing in for the long-term are seeing 0.50% or below.

Limited labor and resources : Unlike the catastrophic fires in Lahaina Hawaii there are significant resources in Los Angeles to contribute to recover, but quality contractors, tradesman, plumbers, electricians and laborers have long been in short supply.

We charge 10% and we pride ourselves on quality service.
