--If you get involved with the tenants, you are undermining your PMC and you might as well DIY manage. 

But your point is well takin, we can’t assume the appraiser is unbiased.  

Well, I’ve done my homework, and I’m convinced that real estate is where the magic happens.

Well, the work itself doesn't get easier or less time consuming if someone else is doing it.

took bonus deprectiation of $100,000 as well.

A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

RR has some very nice product .. however one just needs to look at any real estate venture with the same due diligence you would buying a home to live in.home inspection verify neighborhoods etc.My personal Experience with Zach the owner has proven over time he is very diligent in making sure his product and staff are on top of his clients investments.. that all said its still real estate so keep that in mind as well. but as for integrity Zach has it from my point of view.

I tend to recommend areas just outside the well known fully developed areas.  

Happy to chat as well.
