The second facility I am looking at is about 20 minutes from where I live, and I plan to self-manage with the help of ESS if a deal comes together.

@John Kim ESS is definitely a good software package.

First off, you need to have a good agent on yoru tema to perform many tasks for you including market analysis, running comps, and showing properties.

@Josh Ess Good One Josh!

If you are going to manage the financials online through a system like ESS, you don’t need to hire a full service management company, just someone to do the small things.

If Im pronouncing your last name correctly, (yer-dee-al-ess) then to be dead honest, I like your last name better.

I am selling g by busi ess I've had for 15 years.

Quote from @Josh Ess: Stephen we have great local REIA and FIBI chapters that meet monthly and are amazing for networking with real estate investors and all of the associated professionals. 

But the letter "s" starts with a vowel sound, so the acronym could be "an ess-tee-ar" instead of "a ess-tee-arr."

I was thinking of using a management software like ESS and pairing that with a business service providing virtual assistants that can help to coordinate things like landscaping, checking that units are clear, etc.
