@Theresa Harris Thank you for all the help.

@Theresa Harris Please update your profile Teresa so we know what part of the US your experience is coming from

The Coronavirus will weed out a lot of real estate professionals who did not establish a strong base and can't survive this disruption. 

Once you survive one deal, push for the next then the next.

But if you compare the level and quality of services provided, nobody else is even close.Anyone that chooses my "competition" to save a little money is far more likely to lose money and have more headaches.No PM company can survive on 6% management fee.

Quote from @Theresa Harris: Hop in the car or on the plane and go there to see what is going on.

Please see below:"Tomorrow, on Wednesday, January 18th learn how three Sacramento Superstars built their businesses from an idea to locally recognized names.Through careful branding, systematization, team management, and crafting their business culture, they’ve managed to adjust their businesses to current markets and grow them.We're going to be hearing from Mike Gobbi (who has seen and survived multiple market cycles), the team at Grounded (formerly known as the Oak Park Team specializing in flipping), and Max Boyko of Hybrid Brokers Realty - Sacramento (who's new brokerage is growing in leaps and bounds).

I'd shoot for 6 month leases so you can have more regular rent increases :-) And if you think that hipster millennial won't pay good money to live in your C class neighborhood because it's all that's available, think again:http://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/Box-man-living-San-Francisco-400-rent-Berkowitz-7215269.phphttp://www.businessinsider.com/crazy-things-people-do-to-survive-san-franciscos-housing-prices-2016-4Remember this is the same generation that thinks it's cool to pay $60,000 for a cramped 200 sq ft tiny house that they can park on their great uncle's lot and gladly post pictures on instagram about it all day long... until reality hits them:Tim explains how the reality hit him suddenly as well.

Please allow us to critique your financial survival plan, now that you have painted a gloomy future.
