We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

How does that vacant unit compare in sq footage to the other units?

@Allen McGlashing, looking around, gross rents for comparables is around $60K

@Steve Adler Since it’s more than 4 units the deal we would base the deal on the numbers instead of comparable’s.

They will figure a average cost per sq ft around your local area, and then compare your house to those.

Jeff, just wondering what the cost of building looks like compared to buying? 

The main reason is that property values are still relatively low compare to other major cities.

@Baird King if it is a duplex or  < 5 units they will assess it on comparables.

You should compare costs.
