Both are extremely reputable, knowledgable QIs who are active here on BP.Good luck!

I'm available most days after 5 and available on weekends.

The industry is so ripe for discussion with all of its: negative stigma, tenants/toilets/trash, fee-drivenness, landlord friendly, investor driven, technologically evolving and legislatively active...environment.There's the historic landlord and agent PM legal agency relationship with a traditional scope of service, duties/responsibilities between LL&T, evolving retail/consumer trends/expectations, etc.

The fact that YOU are taking your West coast gains and leaving would give me pause if I lived on the West coast. actually my Oregon investments are pretty substantial just not in the rental realm  all new construction.. just finished a 23 home project were I sold the homes at 425k to 500k... and have a 90 lot one lined up for next year.. that will be a 50 million dollar deal.. so no I am not taking it all out of state.. although we have some pretty substantial projects in Charleston SC as well.as you know this is predominately a landlord site... and I am not a landlord.. but quite active in real estate in other avenues..
