Usually, 20 to 30 units is the tipping point for self-management, so you might want to keep expanding your doors until you feel the benefits of that cash flow (as well as the pain of the management).  

The situation resolved itself because they decided to move out, and as a precaution I took up the new flooring, installed a vapor barrier, and installed new flooring on top (painful since I had installed it all a year before, but in the end it really just came out to a few months profit).

Many people are in all kinds of situation where some quick cash is way more important than hold on to a destress property that's not doing anything for them but causing pain. 3.

If the property is listed on Airbnb/VRBO it will be hard to transfer reservations and that could be a huge pain if the seller is not helpful, even after closing. 

As you'll find, traditional financing, especially FHA, can be a real pain in the butt.

But I don't know how much pain those hosts are going through.

Land is always a pain in the *** to sell.

@Tim V.Recently I had the same issue but the 1st inspector was helping me but after he was relocated it the next inspector was a pain in the xxx... at the end the called a few more items making me to spend an extra 6k.

You don’t know if you’ll like the decisions they’ll make, nor do you know how big of a pain they will be.  

The companies you mention have been around for a while and have stood the test of time.They have stood the test of time in a niche called "turnkey real estate" that has always carried a stigma.So I think that speaks volumes of their quality 👍Nobody is perfect and those that work hard, will eventually make a mistake.As long as the mistake is an "honest mistake".And being a turnkey provider myself for 10+ years now I can sure say that some investors can be a true pain in the A$$ and it feels like they look for drama/issues intentionally instead of smooth sailing lolWith that said, I suggest doing your online research and reaching out to the one that tickles your fancy the most.And then go from there.Wishing you much success.
