WE DO NOT mark-up eviction lawyers (in fact we only go 2x a year for 200+ units and mostly for non-payment - life happens)WE DO NOT put in deadbeats or troubled tenants we will need to evict (we have to deal with them - really, life is too short)WE DO NOT advise our clients to buy in crappy neighborhoods or buy crappy buildings because they are so cheapWE DO NOT put our clients in harm's way legally because we know the legal landlord/tenant laws and what to avoidWE DO NOT take on Landlords that do not see the value we add and want to nickel and dime good quality servicesYou must have had a run in with a REALLY BAD manager to have such a skewed view of the industry.WE DO screen for 3.75% rent/debt ratios, evictions, crimes, felonies, level 3's and ALWAYS cross-check in our networkWE DO screen out landlords too because let's face it, there are some bad ones, and we don't need their business eitherWE DO market the snot out of our rentals on over 30+ apartment sitesWE DO market with pictures, videos, BLOGs, website, referral programs, word of mouth and our landlord referral networkWE DO know title-real estate-eviction lawyers, contractors, REALTORS, and have a wide network of professionals on callWE DO get discounted rates and preference on service because of the volume of work we provide our contractorWE DO have a 100% guarantee on placed tenants, if they default within 12-months, the next tenant placement is free on usWE DO frequently see the property and build relationships with the residents AND neighbors to be boots on the streetWE DO know which landlords are selling before the hit the market and give pocket listings to keep the management contractIf this ain't worth $85 bucks, let's keep going.

Yield is a function of risk...so with DC being one of the lowest risk markets in the country, its going to have very low yields, ie low cash on cash.There is a method becoming more popular to achieve higher yields in DC and that is renting by the room.
