@Kathy Utiss, I appreciate the straightforward answer.

Pretty straightforward post here.

It's vital to learn housing metrics such as, average SFH sales price, average vacany rate, lease comparables for different properties/subdivisions.

Any suggestions on a comparable program would be greatly appreciate. 

The initial cost seem low compared to other businesses.

I personally just use zillow to see what other comparable rentals are listed for.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

I have looked at comparable properties in my area and the 1 beds should be more like 1300 - 1400 while the 2beds should be 1500 - 1600.  

However, taxpayers who can show that the time they devote to real estate activities is insubstantial compared to the time devoted to their normal occupation may be able to preserve capital gain treatment, despite some frequency in sales.

Most price points saw a mild contraction this week compared to last.
