I wish there were an easy answer for these things.I guess I could just ask him, but I don't want him to ask too much, then start bad blood between us when I counteroffer.

Yup I would say the vast majority of owners who have large portfolios in the city they live and work in.. will create their own in house team.. in some markets were your managing D class its basically mandatory.. other wise you will bleed from a thousand cuts.Oceans of blood... 

I think co-host (paid help) is the only way to go out of cell reach for a week camping.

@Rex Celle  I am sending you a pm.

The Morgan philosophy was when blood is on the street you buy. 

HOWEVER, I now have the wife's personal cell and will be calling in a month or so to check in. 

  :)there are turn key operators in Japan.. you can buy rentals there for 30 to 50k that meet the 1% rule or more.. they will live there a life time and you have next to zero issues with those tenants compared to the US tenant base.. they are respectful of authority.. just look at pictures of fukishima and NO looting no rioting. all lined up nicely to get water.. then look at pictures of New Orleans during Katrina.. it was a free for all blood bath on many levels..   

I'll send you a PM with my cell phone number and we can set up a call sometime this week!

@Jacob Hanson If you want to be legal for ALL TELEMARKETING:Register as a telemarketer on the federal website https://telemarketing.donotcall.gov/then scrub your list against the people who have registered for the do-not-call (DNC)you can't call a cell phone, regardless of whether or not it is registered with the DNC.

The reason they stayed so long with us was because we had a good landlord/tenant relationship which entailed respect for each other, no matter what type of neighborhood they lived in or who they were.Landlording was and still is in my blood.
