I have made it from my long term process to short/mid terms and I have found myself in a predicament as I am investing from out of state (Atlanta GA) and have purchased a str that I will be staying in 1 week a month (Liberty MO north of Kansas City MO).Predicament All property management companies I have done my research on have horrible reviews, as most of them do, and with STR it’s not exactly passive but more hands on in my experience with investing in ATL.Does anybody out there have a recommendation for PM companies I can work with that are not from the horror story days that I have heard all the way back from when Josh Dorkin was hosting?

As for the quality, it depends on company. 

What are the best ways to leverage myself to get the next property and grow my portfolio (i have some options but not sure which is best)? 

I use this company...

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing heavy in our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

We have a community and family oriented company culture that make me feel apart of something greater than myself.

Is there a legitimate reason for what the title company is doing?

For a small company or individual owner the best combo is algorithmic pricing + daily (or at least weekly) checking of metrics.

Remember, they always have their company/the sellers best interest at heart.
