Don't just look at their prices, also look at their services and compare them to the competition. 

Look up comps in your target markets and see how they compare to each other. 

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

I would caution on comparing these returns to the S&P 500.Real estate has been pretty much flat the last 2-3 years while the S&P has been on a great run.It's human nature to sell the lows and buy the tops.

@Rene Brodowsky appraisers, like most workers, will take the path of least resistance if allowed.Appears they are using an AI system to valuate your home.As suggested already, you may want to request an actual appraisal, which you will have to pay for, and send your own comparables to Huntington Bank to try to guide the appraiser.Otherwise, you may need to try a different lender.

Create a simple spreadsheet or written list to compare the features of each and identify the ones that align with your requirements.

Congrats on at least taking action.You've got nothing budgeted for vacancy that I can see; it depends on how much turnover there is in your market and what your prices are like compared to the rest of the market, but most people would budget 1 month of vacancy/year/unit.

Also, be sure to consult a CPA about the timing of transitioning properties to an LLC to avoid potential complications with financing or taxes.Take time to compare multiple lenders and products that fit your strategy.

I would first look at a proven company like RentWerx, then compare them to a few others and see which one works best for you.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

All these providers balance speed with compliance, so it’s worth consulting with them to compare timelines, costs, and support for your specific needs.
