I have an excellent referral for you.

I use excell and have over a dozen properties.

I only have one duplex with them and feel the attention they gave addressing my concerns was excellent, which I really appreciated. 

As an additional bonus, there are self-directed IRAs and Solo 401k plans that allow these excellent tax advantages AND the ability to invest into real estate for potentially higher, more stable returns than typical IRAs and 401ks locked into the stock market.

We are Indy only, but in Birmingham, Spartan is a an excellent outfit, and although he doesn't do the work himself @Antoine Martel may be able to find you some good TK stuff in some of the other cities you've mentioned.Good luck!

@Erik Hayhurst I track multiple properties in Excel and have tenants pay rent by going to my bank and depositing in my bank account, setting up auto draft to me, Zelle or Paypal.

Excellent thank you for your input and perspective!

They love the better economies of scale, they love the tax benefits, they love the idea of not having to be an expert on it all but just being able to focus and excel in one area, while also working on a team and contributing toward a unified goal.
