Medford (North Boston) happens to be a low supply/high demand market so I absolutely need to get more comfortable with consistent rent increases but those increases need to be researched and in line with the market. 

To plan investment and future rental goals in Albany, research market trends, explore financing options, understand landlord-tenant laws, manage property early, budget for maintenance, and connect with local investors.

Do your research and you'll be fine.

Always perform thorough market research and verify the numbers on any property you consider.

I realize this thread is over a year old, but I actually stumbled upon it recently while digging into some 1031 exchange research on Google.

I actually have done a lot of research on this because I love 1980s and 1990s arcade games and plan to collect my favorite 7-8 games eventually.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I am also on the same boat and researching on an experiences on Ray.Does anybody have any experience with Ray? 

I thought I could just have a title company do some research and provide me with information about her property (Liens, unpaid debts etc.).

Set a clear budget, research properties carefully, and keep growth potential in mind as you plan.Good luck!
