I bought my first property with Conquest Realty back in October in Little Rock.

Plus material cost can vary wildly depending on area, time of year, natural disasters, quality of finish, brand, size, etc.

@Romil S.Right now Round Rock is the hottest place to invest from what I am seeing. the last 2 props that I did in RR, one leased out in 2 days and the other 5 days.

You're getting ready to turn over one of your most valuable assets over to the person you're trying to nickle and dime and which will ultimately help you define it either as an asset or a liability.... go ahead... bargain all you want but likely you'll be posting on BP with all the other disgruntled owners on how the PM failed you... regardless of what you read or hear it's a universal truth 'you'll rarely get quality service at rock bottom pricing', heck I've got a 19 yo. cousin that will manage your rental for 2%... want to take him up on that?... 

Because there are so many good ways to invest in Real Estate, i think that diversification happens naturally as you seek better ways to apply your capital and stick to what works.just my two cents.

depending on the nature of your park, your park manager is the most important person for that park. 

Somewhere young professionals or older retirees could actually take pride in (from the rocking chair on their tiny front porch overlooking a lake!). 

It's just the nature of CA. 

Sellers are naturally motivated to do repairs on the cheap, while the buyer can control the repair materials and quality if they do or manage their own.

The primary purpose is profit and by nature is going to involve other people.
