Exit strategy and appreciation potential in a market like , PA, which is a smaller town with modest appreciation.4) is there any tools or metrics with average I can refer to to analyze this.Would love to hear thoughts from anyone familiar with similar markets or multifamily investments.

Please stop referring the rules and regs as a loophole.

@Dave FosterThis is the expert you refer to.

If it is dead at the rent point you reference than so is initial positive cash flow.  

@Kenneth P FordRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Can I reject on income and lack of rental references?

If you are looking for recommendations, please let me know, and I am happy to send you a few references. 

I already gave separate accounts for all my properties and don't love the idea of having another account.For more reference from my side on RentRedi is a bit clunky to navigate, make updates/changes and while I know it's tiny I don't love that it charges my tenants to pay their rent. 

If you're referring to off-market properties, I agree with @Jimmy Lieu.

Hey Koren,That's pretty much what I figured as well - can't imagine a realtor (or inspector) gets too far if they're referring poor work.Our realtor suggested Call2Inspect as well so that's great to hear!
