For larger properties they will use market CAP as the main component but also replacement cost and comps to value your property for refinance.

I would have to agree with @John Warren - it wouldn't make sense for you to start the educational component now as you are not sure if you are going to end up staying in the state.

A good manager will provide you organized accounting, provide a layer of protection (versus self management) save you time, headaches, money.. and is a necessary component of scalability as a landlord.

In my experience, inherited tenants almost never, ever work out under new ownership.This is a common fault with new landlords (which is exacerbated by the owner/occ component) - being too lenient. 

I'd probably want a bit more seasoning than that, personally.Ultimately, the ideal one for you is going to provide you with the customer support and client portal that best serve your needs, along with a fee structure aligned with your investment style so you don't get bled dry one dollar at a time.As an aside, since you are in Georgia you should give strong consideration to the SDIRA training offered in Atlanta by Dyches Boddiford and Pete Fortunato in March 2020!

As a result of that you need to study whatever market you are interested in very well, to see if it aligns with your goals, before pulling the trigger.

I have a great realtor, lender, and attorney on my team, but I'm missing a key component—the quarterback (PM).Learning from someone who's more knowledgeable can often help to instantly overcome a limitation.

And also this is just one component of a massive company. 

How do you determine what the comp on something like this should be?
