Even if you could boot a tenant, I don't think you'd have the best luck finding a quality one at the moment. 

On the other hand, if you're planning to go pro, you might want to gear up with the top quality up front, despite the high price tag.

When they tell me the current PM it almost always is a PM who discounts fees so low there is no way that PM can afford to provide quality service.

This also gives you not only a realtor's eye who will be thinking about resale values and quality of work from a renter/buyers perspective, but also someone totally independent of the work being done (contractors) and management.

Or those who can WFH at least most of the week can enjoy a quieter pace and better quality of life here, IMHO.

I had one older tenant with no smartphone/internet who continued to deposit her rent at my bank on the first of the month. 

Or maybe put a different way, the spread of doing really quality work doesn't pay off nearly as much, as compared to a larger metro such as Des Moines. 

We are searching for good markets with a really quality provider. 

Does the quality of the client change the fee you would pay?

It's because they have the MEANS to support themselves should they lose their jobs, even for a prolonged period of time.Part of accepting a low CAP Rate (5% or below) on NYC Properties is to balance it out with Quality and consistent income stream.While I don't mind helping Tenants that are NOT WEALTHY....
