Maybe attend a chamber of commerce meeting and ask around where development will start.

What is your average rent amount for all properties managed?

Tenant stopped paying rent before 2 months of the lease expiring, property manager filed for eviction process but tenant vacated the property before sheriff served the notice.

- Property Managers that you would highly recommend? 

Flip to another developer looking for your zoning ordinances.

However, that being said, it's just as important to make your flips and developments stand out from the crowd!

I personally like to buy in towns/neighborhoods in which no new builds are possible within 10 miles because all the land is developed.

A more realistic expectation is 24 hours which will ensure we can arrange any repairs or corrections with a team, handle it in person, etc. be curious how this plays out as I worked for local developer for a while and developed several properties in Alexandria (Specifically old town) and while the city is challenging like any city - they were mostly realistic.

Self-managing is definitely the way to go!

Assuming you want to aim for syndication, you sort of need to learn how to develop a pro forma that ties the return to an IRR/XIRR.
