What type of lights do you have that are $250 more than usual (was this over the course of a month)... 

So, depending on the type of report and level of detail you may be able to investigate that.

@Mike Lambert That is highly dependent on a multitude of factors like size/luxury class/location/housing type/owner restrictions/etc.

@Kenneth Jenkins you forgot to mention owners that expect a PMC to use contractors off Craigslist that are unlicensed, NOT insured and rarely have acceptable experience/skill - but, they quote the "best" price.These same owners will sue a PMC if using these types of contractors results in a tenant lawsuit.

We've never had any issues whenever we submitted a claim, and they would take care of the type of situation you're dealing with.  

These loan types allow you to do up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the renovations financed as long as you meet experience, credit, and LTC/ LTARV requirements based on an appraisal or virtual inspection.

A good PM can refer you to top sales agents in the market, they can tell you what type of rentals are in demand, they can tell you which areas are best for investments, and they can cross-check what the sales agent tells you about specific properties.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

My goal is to build a data-driven tool that provides actionable insights into which neighborhoods and property types are in the highest demand, based on metrics like:Time on market: How quickly rentals are being leased.Property characteristics: Bedrooms, bathrooms, size, and amenities.Pricing trends: Rental rates relative to market demand and property features.Visual quality: Leveraging property photos to analyze the style and condition of rentals that perform well.The tool will allow users to:Pinpoint areas with the fastest rental turnovers.Understand what types of properties (size, price range, features) rent the quickest.Gain deeper insights into property presentation and amenities that correlate with high demand.Thank you in advance for your feedback.

What is the upside of retaining this type of asset long term in isolation (likely won't be building a portfolio or 1031-ing anytime soon, but maybe in a decade)?

These types of agreements can get a little in-depth, but that is what you want for your protection and that other partner.
