Smaller SFH = less maintenance , there are lots of single looking for a place to live .

@Jemini LeckieRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I suggest using a service like Mayistay.

Because for a certain type renter it’s just SO easy to continue renting fully furnished rather than having to spend $20-40k on furniture; come up with a down payment on a house purchase; and or worry about repairs and maintenance.  

Tax shelter schemes, partnerships with foreign partners and accounts, partnerships with hundreds of members, returns with blatant mistakes, entities in questionable businesses, like gambling, drugs, online video sales, escort services.

I also hold a couple of real estate forums in the area for people like yourselves to connect with service providers, GC's, etc. 

Additionally, some states hold Escrow and Title services differently. 

PMC staff are good at maintenance and maybe repairs, but they are NOT licensed contractors with years of real-world experience.

You'll probably get better service approaching it that way than hiring a professional manager anyway.
