They set up the process as a preliminary ‘interview’ and then if you get the first screener’s ‘recommendation,’ you move on to a 2+-hour ‘interview’ with the ‘director’ to ‘dive deeper and see if you’re a good fit’ because ‘Phil is very selective’—so selective, in fact, that ‘less than 1% of applicants are accepted to join.’

I live between Avon and Plainfield, I just saw a rental in the neighborhood next to me advertised for $3000 for LTR,  totally shocked - the one two doors down from me is renting for $2400. 

He then went onto their website online and researched their property management online and was shocked.

Anderson charges $13,000 for first year set up for my situation then yearly fees (I stopped adding up the numbers after I was in shock about the $13k). 

You’re an accountant, so it’s not shocking that you think what I said isnt ideal advice.  

I past all my 7-8 preliminary inspections (seemed like a lot and was told each time "Keep up the good work" and I will send the landlord the "all good" report.

There is a shocking amount of information you need to know, to do PM correctly. 

@David SegattiI was really shocked when a prospective new Protégé pointed out your post to me.
