This is a very broad question in which you are going to get a wide range of input on because their are a ton of variables to consider.

Hello @Alvin Taveras it widely depends on the location and demand of the area.

There are two ways to go about marketing/advertising your business...You can go a mile wide and an inch deep, which would be marketing large scale such as blanketing an entire neighborhood with direct mail, door hangers, etc.

Even with a 'state wide lock-down' and quarantine; pricing was only effected while home-buyers almost had to sneak out of their homes to buy..

Guess I just need to save more or find another angle.  

For comparison sake, I 1031’d all long-term rentals out of California due to state-wide rent control & no doubt more tenant protections coming down the pipe.

This can vary widely from area to area.

Certainly, we can all agree that every segment of society has a few bad actors.However, in your post, you set out haranguing other landlords (that posted above, as you state) for some perceived wide-ranging ill that there does not appear to be any evidence for, at least on this thread.To baselessly condemn the entire profession without that merit, to me, does indeed reinforce a false narrative.If I were to muse publicly, as you did, that since a few individuals belonging to an industry (or ethnicity) did wrong, paint them all with a broad unilateral brush and declare “and people wonder why (that group) have a bad name”, I’ll bet you’d use a harsher term than “false narrative” to describe that sentiment.Landlords have a very unfair negative public image because of a very small percentage of individuals in the industry, and you are not helping.

Fees for PMs vary widely based on the market.
