I applaud anyone that can do both, as it definitely makes some extra cash when you don't have to fork over 10% of your rental income.I interviewed a few PMs in my area, and have had some experience with bad ones.

Bought it for $180k 5 years ago as a buy and hold.Developers are putting $400-600k homes on tear-down properties all around it.I looked at tearing down and putting a 4-plex on the lot...not allowed per code.I looked at tearing it down and doing a duplex...after all costs and penalty of interrupted cash flow...bad move.I looked at tearing down and putting two single family homes...bad cash-flow move.It just seems that with a lot so large relative to the size of the home is in such a hot/in-demand area, i should be able to get more cash flow. 

So, if you are looking to build a cash flowing portfolio, then investing in a cashflow market is not a bad thing, You just need to make sure the numbers are right.

I just started with buildium it’s ok so far but my big concern it’s all cloud based which is good and bad, do I own that data are only own it if I keep paying?

Some times bundles are cheaper but many times they package price is more than the individual properties would sell for and if thats the case its always a bad deal IMO

Always best to fight water from the outside before it gets into a building.

This will encourage him to want to keep place in good clean condition and not talk badly about any potential issues.If he is not going to comply with your wishes then I would wait till he is out before showing house.

Or you could have bad targeting and a bad set up.
