I would prefer to keep things a little more local just to keep a better eye on the property management company.

This is my personal preference, and there are MANY ways to do this.

If you asked someone to sell you a car would you prefer they say no or just be ridiculous and ask for twice what it's worth?

And they rarely disclose the specifics of what they've done or what they want their students/customers to do & then they try to sell the customer another product.

Many people would rather earn less than 100% of the NOI, but be doing it on many times more properties (leverage).As an example, if I offered you 15 full gold bars or 50 half of a gold bars, which one would you prefer?

If I'm going to put a lot of effort into a deal, I'd prefer that it pays off big time.

a) Getting on title is preferable, say you buy on a wrap AITD or contract for sale in California, get on title, then sell on lease option.b) You could get sales licensed in California and sell on lease option via a listing agreement and get a 3% commission. 

They know nothing about running a business or generating leads and growing their brand.When they worked a job before they had no clue about all the behind the scenes stuff that goes on to watch the customer give them the business.

Do you like them or would you prefer to get someone else in the unit?
