Hi Derek, The more sites you're on, the better!

However, the most unfortunate thing I see in this business all the time is when someone turns over their investment to a company that simply does not do enough when it comes to managing.To keep this post succinct, I highly recommend calling multiple companies and asking the questions from this great BP post: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/01/1...I have managed a scattered site portfolio consisting of 144 single family homes and multi 2-4 throughout St.
