Pretty fascinating stuff...Here in the States, the falling home ownership suggests a growing tenant supply.

I'm a bit of a building-science nerd.

I personally find Detroit a fascinating case study.

Just curious about how to judge them as there's no easy to view rating system for them.Yeah, appraising is an art, not a science.

I am fascinated about the concept.

It's been a fascinating ten days to say the least! 

The one thing most everyone said in one way or another is fear of the unknown.Here are a couple of tips:1) Real estate isn't rocket science.

Basic maintenance requests completed within 5 days, emergency maintenance requests completed within 2 days, preventative maintenance work twice a year, tenant-caused maintenance billed back to tenant, periodic inspections to make sure that the tenant is reporting necessary maintenance items, late fees collected, immediate 30 day notices posted, pet fees monitored and collected, move in inspections, move out inspections, move out damages charged to tenant, advanced notice on capital repair items, 30 day move out notices communicated, pre-leasing of property, tenant stay incentives, gutters cleaned, annual rent rate analysis, turns completed in 30 days, background checks on all occupants over 18, prior landlord references, co-signers on leases, direct deposit funds, monthly summary statements, online vacancy postings, post-eviction collections...So, I trade in managing my buildings, which I have down to a science, to managing a property manager?

It isn't science.

Per this NY Times article, the average American knows around 600 people.https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/19/science/the-average-american-knows-how-many-people.html#:~:text=The%20average%20American%20knows%20about,do%20you%20know%20named%20Kevin%3FPer the US Census Bureau, the average American moves 11.7 time in their life, which based upon an approximate lifespan of 84 years, works out to be about every 7 years.https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/calculating-migration-expectancy.html#:~:text=Using%202007%20ACS%20data%2C%20it,one%20move%20per%20single%20yearSo, if the average American knows 600 people and they each move about every 7 years, that means that the average American knows around 85 people that move in any given year.How many of those moves do you want to be involved in?
