Cincinnati MHA is constantly monitoring area rents and pay close to market for condition of property. 

@Victor J Valera Do you use a special software to keep track of things?

Much of the outsourced cheap software teams ended up causing me more work to fix.If you have some patience with computers and give it a bit of time, I think most people can do what they need for RE websites (especially if its basic). 

To some extent you can reduce those expenses through low flow fixtures, water monitoring and LED lighting

We charge 20%, but our software costs alone are 5%.

A professional manager will be able to generate top revenue for your unit by using the right software and understanding the marketplace.

I would not invest in there unless I lived a few miles away and could constantly watch and monitor my property. 

After I discovered mold in an old house, I have ever since placed humidity gauges in each room and consistently monitor my basement.

I've spent the last few months monitoring properties on the MLS and there have been very few SFH and MFH with desirable numbers. 

There’s a ton of great softwares out there for you to manage your first few yourself!
