A doctor making 1 to 1.5 million a year doesn't have TIME to get tenant notices with demands or communicate with a property manager to do it for them.

Do they say that about Bankers, Grocery Store Owners, Doctors (well maybe doctors..bad example) plumbers, etc?

Before I started looking into real estate, I was proud of the fact that, by the end of this year, I will have a doctorate in education.

problem with these areas is that even if your block or neighborhood isnt bad, the one right next door is garbage... and those people are at your prospective tenants schools, stores, doctors offices... stealing non stop etc... 

Bad fake Business/Real estate people can be correlated with going to a doctor that is nervous, sweaty and pasty.Frank

You know - the full time doctor who is looking for long-term buy and hold rental property for tax benefits and the 30 year paydown as much as income and value.I may need a commercial broker to get more of an idea of market value (may be some off market comps or the like) but this area was devastated by mortgage fraud during the recession.

We have a commercial building with businesses and doctors' offices.

It Is like anything else, whether it be attorneys, doctors, roofers, etc. there is good and bad.I strongly encourage landlords and investors when looking for a good property management company to go to the National Association of Residential Property Managers website: www.NARPM.org Good property management pays for itself, while poor property management can cost an landlord thousands of dollars.I sincerely hope you are able to recover the funds.Kevin

If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor."

The doctor in the ER suggested that he test for mold.I remembered that I'd been to a REIA meeting and heard about this mold tester in Home Depot.
