Quick update - called around to a few more property management firms and and they stated that I should be able to rent it anywhere from $1,500 - $1,800 so the upside is there.

Great question @Arissa... as a  licensed Broker/Investor/Realtor® here's what the Code of Ethics has to say...Use a State Contract (Article 9) Give em comparables (Article 2)Tell them you are acting as a principal in the transaction (Article 4) In the state contract, write down the following as I do...."

I was able to negotiate this somewhat as I brought 10 units right away to a firm with about 400 units under management, and they understand that I'll be bringing them further business in the future.

Not to mention that not all firms will liquidate to end users.

Any real estate firm should have the info.

I have 20 years experience working in the IT field, and currently have a JOB doing just that, but some of that time I owned a consulting firm and actually got my real estate license and for 5 years listed REO properties and did some flips along the way. 

@Aaron Ramm I offer property management services in Everett through my brokerage firm Champions Real Estate Services.

I worked for a small firm in Constriction Engineering Products, Johnson Controls, that sold air and water control equipment to large apartment and commercial building contractors.

Needless to say I am completely sold and now slowly transitioning to dedicate to RE full time with an acquisition firm in South FL were I will be connecting investors with our acquisitions and gaining full knowledge on a daily basis. 

Then maybe just visiting firms near me.
