Hi Brandon,My day job for the last decade has been as a recruiter- contingent, then for a tech start up and now for a huge global company.

We were using a property manager at 10% with no leasing fees on a 24 unit building but I became very unhappy with the way they show properties, their up charges for tech, stamps, and doing basic move in / out inspections and pretty much their inability to solve basic problems.  

Any help with the tech issues is also much appreciated!

This means what you think may be a good ARV today may be 10K or more off in 6 months, so understanding longer term expectations from inventory numbers in your specific location and average sales prices also play in to the mix.
