Hi, we are a small operator with 14 doors and Grasshopper told us we can't send texts anymore because we don't have a website.

Therefore, your financial freedom hinges on new companies continuously moving into the city, creating replacement jobs.Companies have many options when selecting a location to set up operations.

You need to know what to look for, what to address, and have solid buisiness acumen to run a MF operation of that magnitude.

And getting entirely into speculation if doge really wants to cut the federal work force, an idea I’m not totally opposed to, centralizing operations and closing your Cleveland field office, or your St.

If all prospects and leads come from yourself, then you are operating your own business.

Every PM operates differently, and at the end of the day, there is tons of information you can navigate on your own in the beginning stages online, but surely there will be PM's that would be more than happy to assist you on journey. 

So, WHY screw with a successful system that your able to operate without undue stress? 

Some numbers:Expected 2026 income after raising rents to market value and assuming 7% vacancy: $144k.Expenses: $14k property management, $18k property tax, $10k insurance, $10k utilities, $8k in repairs/maintenance/advertising/admin/etc: Total operating expenses: $60kNOI: $84kBased on 6% cap rate that brings the valuation to only $1.4m, or $1.5m based on 5.5% cap rate.

If your property management company is good and has built an internal maintenance team which has set rates and had strong relationship relationships with licensed contractor which should keep costs in control, you should never need to shop contractors on your own I wouldn't think.So in short, our policy is give us your preferred contractors upfront if you have them, but then we work all tickets to resolution including dispatch, and payment of invoices.This is of course for operational expenses.  

It sounds like you may be a better fit for a smaller operation that still offers guided tours.
