I did not see marketing costs, nights that you need to spend at networking meetings paying for dinners or memberships.

Longer Tenure in HomesData from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows people are staying in their homes for a decade (see graph below):This increased tenure means homeowners benefit even more from home values growing over time.

I've also loved learning about the other 10 markets we operate in.I have two big goals.

Partnering with someone already in that market would be wise.

They will know market data and trends better, have reliable comps to base their recommendations on, and could even be a great deal flow with current portfolio properties selling.The completely remote, centralized PM function is one of the reasons why you see the homes owned by PE firms sit on the market so long.

I'm seeking to be in an environment with like minded individuals to learn and network to grow my portfolio and eventually network to collaborate on larger deals once I have a better understanding of the commercial side. 

I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily. markets are hard too.

I agree very market dependent. 

We do not raise it to market rents, we keep it at lease 10% below to try and reduce turnover.

If you do not do your market research correctly, it doesn't matter how great your list is because you will pull a list in a bad market.
