Keeping the PM in-house through your turnkey provider is the safest option moving forward IMO.At the end of the day, they have your best interests at heart and want to do their best to deliver in real life the returns promised to you on paper.The grass isn't never greener on the other side and for another PM company you will just be a number and they will look at margin and making as much profit is as possible from each client.In-house PM through your trusted turnkey property is offers a different approach and in many instances comes with a reduction in misc fee's and costs.Just my opinion and wishing you much success
