Let me know if you'd like his contact information.

You can DM me directly if you're not comfortable putting that information here. 

It can provide a very misleading valuation.Your appreciation numbers reflect just below 4% a year (I used 8 year hold) on both properties which is below national average for this period and below what neighborhoodscout depicts for Chicago 10 year average. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/il/chicago/real-estateLooking at this from the outside, I am missing a lot of details such as your interest rate, is there a prop tax benefit for long holds (by the way look up prop 13 for CA at some point as it may play a role in your decision to purchase once you relocate to San Diego), the neighborhood, appreciation potential going forward, any emotional attachment, etc.

@Khaled SeirafiRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
