Their operational expenses were 51.6% across 37,491 single-family properties in 22 states.

Although I currently operate in Vegas, I am always on the hunt for opportunity in other markets. 

While I operate on smaller margins, I find that my demographic has smaller expenses.

I know you're operating with limited information here, but what do you guys think?

It's my understanding that RPM has a franchise structure, so each one is independently owned and operated.

Such as realistic time frame in establishing yourself, operational cost, marketing, will you need to mix residential in for a time until you are established, any software or materials that would be helpful, etc. any of your thoughts would be appreciated.Thank you

I'm not sure of your education background/skill set, but property managers are involved with the day-to-day operations of the property that can be valuable. 

This is mostly true with older buildings where typical operating expenses are higher than newer properties and by using a limited 25% deduction for operating expenses (75% method) you will often show better net rental calculations than if you used actual.
