Pity- I think the principals had good intentions but a slick technology portal and interface cannot replace the day in day out grind of managing properties in Detroit.

I would anticipate difficulty in attracting a quality tenant and in limiting tenant turnover.

Maybe someone with hearing difficulties so the upstairs noise doesn't bother them.You could also let her know that if she stops paying during her lease (whether she stays or leaves) you will file an eviction which will be on her credit report.

This is less work for you because they manage the deals but the difficulty is the manager now has an incentive on his structure to get more expensive labor and materials to charge you more. 

You may be better off with your own search because you really want someone you can work with who uses support technology you are comfortable using and is responsive, willing to meet you at your experience level, etc.I wanted to spend a while choosing because I don't want to switch again for a long time.

Of course this is going back 20 years so there's been some updates in technology, but the process was painfully slow on draws and often incomplete.

I feel that with the progress of technology today, people will reach out when they are ready to relocate or expand their business.

As a fellow investor who is in technology as a day job, I applaud you on your efforts here! 

This will help hedge you from changes in technology, employment trends, companies pulling out of an area, etc.3) check supply versus demand.
