When I decided to switch to a new property manager, he also failed to transfer the tenant information to the new management company.

We just finished a renovation project that we started in our name and put into an LLC half way through. 

They instead focus on fully gutting their projects and install entirely new kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, accent walls, etc. and any exterior or mechanical upgrades necessary.While I understand this whole hog strategy, part of me says this will end up increasing the value of a home so far beyond other homes in the surrounding area that it wouldn't sell for what it's likely worth.

I was just speaking with a property management company and he isn't having any trouble renting his units. 

I currently own 10 units around Louisiana. 6 of the units are self managed and 4 are managed by a property management company but we actively manage the property manager.

As far as what I learned, I prefer STR’s and managing it myself vs a PM.

Here's a very small pros and cons list I've made for the area:Pros:Potential for Appreciation: Rapid growth and development can lead to property value increases.Stable Rental Demand: Proximity to Raleigh and economic opportunities ensure a steady stream of potential renters.Desirable Location: Good schools, amenities, and quality of life attract families and professionals.Cons:Market Competition: Increased demand can lead to higher property prices and competition among buyers.Out-of-State Management: Managing a property remotely can be challenging without a trustworthy local team.Economic Dependence: The area’s growth is closely tied to the economic health of Raleigh and the Research Triangle.

Dear fellow members, I am confronted with a weird accusation that I haven’t seen in 15 years of managing student rentals.
