Hi all,My parents recently moved to the Washington, D.C region and own a couple properties in Philadelphia.

I am fairly certain that is what you are looking for here, but at 450 units I would question why you would insource that instead of bringing in a large PM company with a regional manager for 3-4%. 

So, now I've got the rock star on my team and our friend is going to work for us in a different part of the region.

I am reading David Greene's book the BRRRR strategy ( again ) and he has mention that through Portfolio Lenders ( Small Credit Unions/ Regional Banks, you can refi in 4 months and some are even faster.Look for Portfolio lenders for faster return on your capital.

Instead you would have to go before some Soviet style regional bureau and beg for an increase based on some formula using inflation. 

In-depth understanding of property management and experience as a landlord, with detailed understanding of the regional rental market, tenant relations, and all the ins-and-outs of renting a property.3.

MLS systems are regional and run on different software plattforms.

Hit up regional and national lenders.

I estimated insurance at 4k a year, this is due to being in a coastal region so this would be the set side for premiums and deductible as they are a percentage of value during hurricanes. 

These are conservative estimates based on regional sales comps.Thanks in advance.
