Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Once you have selected a few cities that meet your criteria, it's then time to dive deeper into researching the sub-markets that comprise each of them.The sub-market selection will have more of an impact on price as well as investment performance than the city itself.If this is your first investment, I don't suggest trying to find the highest cash flowing property however.
