But they will come in and try to grind you on many, many aspects of your deal.

You'll find plenty of advice on all aspects of investing on this site...often from folks who have no experience in the area of which they're giving advice.

Yes one of the things I've picked up on surfing through the forums is to avoid narrowing in so much on the numbers and forgetting the real life aspect of real estate.

What’s the growth aspects?

I'm very new to this aspect of the realestate world.

At our company we like our clients to be involved as much as they want to be with the expectation of trust in our expertise for certain operational factors.If time and distance are a factor, it's better to have a solution that is custom tailored to your needs.

And think outside the box to tailor to your situation :) you can do it!!!

While you may loose control over some aspects of the day to day operations and they cost a percentage of your rental income; i dont see how you could do without them when deployed.Personally iv thought about taking things a step further beyond just a generic property manager running the show.

Typically the people that have issues with section 8 homes/tenants are ones that rely entirely on property managers without section 8 experience to deal with every single aspect of their rental and/or they have low quality houses that attract low quality tenants.

I don't think more time makes a difference from that aspect.
