The last thing I want to do is make a move on a property that's in a market that barely sees any appreciation AND only generates small rents-no matter how brand new everything inside the house maybe.I'm new to Atlanta.

I have been some good  commercial lending referrals, but  now looking for property managers with small apartment  experience here in Colorado.Thanks for the shout out to @Stuart Grazier I will try to connect.BTW I like the Honor and Equity branding you have, Would love to  connect and hear what you do? 

A PM should cost around 10% of gross max, not 50% or worse.If your doing repairs yourself then your not living your best life anyway.Start interviewing PM's and turning over a few properties to start with.You could also use multiple PM's and get rid of the lower performing ones over time.

Long term I believe the 3/2 will perform better due to its size and being in a better neighborhood.

I have a home with 8 bedrooms that I have >$5,000 a month in revenue come in from, after all costs including PITI, Management, funding maintenance, and utilities I pocket $2k a month, each of these two homes will perform just as well I can easily meet the note and set aside cash so a 3 year refinance absolutely works.Thanks for guidance!

However, a strong company ethos coupled with employees who care, can out perform any service a veteran of the industry will provide if he no longer finds joy in his work.2.

@Max Tierney I’ve only owned my cabin for a few months so my data may not be the most reliable but I’ve been pleased so far with how it’s performing.

The Negotiation Dynamic is like a stage, where the performance (your negotiation with the Seller) is about to play out.And that stage is set by your lead generation strategy.

I really wrestled with this when I was a brand new investor.
