As I said above: Proper Perspective.Once again, thank you very much, and I anticipate with pleasure interacting with many of you as I move forward with this project.

I see her on a fairly regular basis, as she now contracts...

It is a business, to run your business successfully you need data, to have a valid, relevant actionable point of discussion when interacting with your PM you need data, and live data makes for better transparency, this builds more trust which leads to stronger relationship, and better synergy in making strategic and tactical business moves that are beneficial to both parties.The fact that I asked this question, does not imply I'm worried that my PM is not doing a great job.

@Alfredo FrancoWe used to meet pretty regularly but it's been a while.

We bought a duplex with an FHA loan and lived there for 1.5 years.Here's a couple of things that have helped me:- Start analyzing properties on a regular basis.

I think regular office could see a massive oversupply of space even with no new buildings constructed except for highly supply side constrained areas.If there is for example 10 million sq ft and 90% occupancy and existing tenants now want 40% less space then existing inventory of lease able space could skyrocket even with no new construction.

Many of them work with investors on a regular basis.

also I have a million questions like how much loan can you get approved for a rental/ is it same as your regular mortgage/ good agent/ duplex vs sfh vs condo etc. 

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

The PM companies for lower priced properties there are really bad from my experiences interacting with them which is why we bought in better areas.
