Mike, Again you are being to critical of each and every word someone says.

Wait and see how fun it is to get fined by the city because your manager didn't inform you about the code violation they told him about a few weeks ago. 3 - At about 200 units you're going to hit a point of critical mass where it is cheaper to own and operate your own property management company with your own employees running it who answer to only one investor, the owner (you) rather than a contract property manager who answers to whichever client is the squeakiest wheel that day if they return the phone call.

Don't criticize people for their lack of knowledge.

SUPER CRITICAL that this is discussed beforehand.  

The location of the property was critical in me deciding to buy it.

Timing is critical to the success of a 1031, so you really want an agent that knows how to do them successfully.

In my opinion the critical indicators to watch are housing inventories and jobs.

In marketing in general follow-up is critical in everything you read about it.

Any kind of help is appreciated even criticism! 

Good point Lou...This is where knowing your farm area is CRITICAL!
