I self-managed and learned to build the houses with my Handyman.  

Hello,I'm currently self managing close to 10 units and have been using Avail to automate things as much as possible.

We are  6 hour drive away, so plan to use management comp.

The problem is that I live in California (which is cost prohibitive for me currently to "buy local") and must rely on remote management that is local to the investment area. 

I am wondering if any experienced landlords or property managers in Seattle have ever come across this issue before?

My Name is Angie and I'm looking to start learning about Real Estate Management and Investing.

My mortgage payments are currently $2,841.40/month and my property management fees are 4% (I'm striking a deal with a property manager I trust so I'm super thankful for them giving me such a low rate).

I have an investment property that I probably have held on for too long and I recently began helping manage the properties in my family's trust.

Self manage? 

However, our advantage is over 30 years experience on the asset management side.
