We see a lot of agents who just do management on the side for extra money but they rarely do a good job.I'm clearly biased but trying to manage property effectively from another state is not easy and a good PM will save you far more money than they ever charge in fees plus you make your money as an investor buying property not managing it.

I don’t know if it’s recency bias, fear, dreaming or what.

Because your financial advisor has vested interest in selling you this solution and therefore is biased.

Now I am admittedly biased in this case, but I know the situation and in my honest opinion the property owners' claims are greatly exaggerated and borderline outlandish.  

Everyone wants cash flow and future appreciation :)Of course as an agent myself, we will likely be bias towards the area that we serve. 

I am biased, but I agree with your process.

Of course, we're biased to the turnkey model, but for those who have decided they'd prefer to build their own OOS team, we're always happy to point them in the direction of someone we know is a solid professional.Best of luck!

@Deanthony Quarles I may be a little biased, but Central Texas is a very good option.

If your company is marketing for and soliciting business for direct mail services via this forum that creates the opportunity for a bias.
