Diversification is the only "free lunch" in finance. 

Site selection, estimating/detailed budgeting, all labor/material/soft costs are an open book with no markup/GC fee, and i own all site management from groundbreaking to closing.- Total cost of these projects would range between $390k-$550K.

Feel free to reach out.

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

I’m thinking about selling one of my debt free rentals to pay off the loan of the new house – thus erasing the $3500/month loan payment.

Your PM should have a set amount for mark ups for every service they provide and it should be part of your management agreement.Hope this helps.Please feel free to contact me with any other specific questions you might have.

Thanks.just a side note, the tenant has requested first month free rental, windows coverings (not satisfied with the new blinds being provided), and free utilities for 5 days.

Not saying you can't find slam dunks elsewhere, but these are markets where my clients are actually making great returns on their investments.Feel free to message me if you'd like to discuss more

All the free rental software, like the one I use, hold the money for 4 to 5 days like you said.

My niche was looking for areas that were run down but getting ready to gentrify (or so I thought, sometimes it's just a guess or gut feeling :-)Drive around the areas you have selected as possible money-makers and then drive, drive, drive.
