As my OP mentioned, once the door count increases in a handful, my question is wouldn't this make more sense to have your own team involved instead of outsourcing to a property management firm?

I have 12-doors in Detroit and I don't add the coverage for theft.

The "wilkes barre / scranton" market is SO big contrary to what one would think - while it's not as populated as a city like Philly or Pittsburgh, those two areas cover a vast amount of land and each neighborhood has it's perks.

@Karen Chenaille on more thing, most firms will provide an upfront analysis at no charge, so you can make the educated decision, if it makes sense to do or not.

Most of our rentals have central air conditioning, multiple baths, and garages, often two car. 

I have 9 doors across Memphis and Detroit and always looking to gain more..

Maybe he was a builder and cruising along fine, and then has been caught in a cash crunch over the past couple of years and might loose one or two or three.   

Rents were $575 per door.
