Between the bored of stupidvisors, a host of tenant activist organizations, and of course rent control, average condos are close to $1 mil and homes closer to $1.5 mil.  

@John Blackman Sounds like you have a good amount of expertise in partnerships and have a really healthy attitude about how they should function. 

I still own a lot of my equipment, and have graduated to "finger pointer/organizer/budget manager/a-kicker".  

There is money out there for solid investments with secure real estate behind them, it just takes organization and time to cultivate it.

@Michael Hooper    It seems a little odd unless Ohio requires a limited power of attorney to perform the duties of a property manager.In Texas, our standard TAR management agreement says "owner grants broker the authority to...... " and then lists 25 or so functions. 

Hi everyone,I would like to survey the crowd as to what everyone is using for organic rent growth and expense growth assumptions.

For properties that are having non-emergency work done, especially if it is something for the convenience of the tenant, and the tenants are highly functional adults, I am fine with having the contractor make arrangements with the tenant - especially when there's not a "nail-down" time, like often happens with HVAC.

I mostly use that to pull up listings while I visit the with clients, so I can answer questions they bring up.I really like the full size keypad and mousing functions of the MacBook vs the iPad, but that has probably changed by now.

I will admit doing this for my 1400 member group took a lot of organization and planning. 

., you talk about personal lives, families, hobbies, etc.) before organically transitioning into talking about investing.
