Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

You will have a leg up on the competition where it's a stand-alone. 

Lots of leg work, calls and emails, but if you can find a few deals that could get you started with enough capital to get into your first deal on your own.

Or give any one area a leg-up, besides the initial players like Virginia. 

@Mickey Petersen I would 1031 exchange into a larger better cash flowing property or whatever gives you a leg up on your wealth building.

Maybe the partner is less able to do some of the leg work or their priorities change or maybe they move out of state!

I think that’s a great first step to do some of the leg work on potential financing for buyers.

She's not going to have any leg to stand on in court if you get that far unless there's some explicit language prohibiting the owner from assigning responsibilities to another legally authorized party, and I'm guessing there isn't if another PM company was maintaining the lease and provisions - and the fact that the tenant was voluntarily working with the other PM confirms the acceptance of an authorized agent even if it's not explicitly stated, the same way if you accept rent from a tenant after a lease expires you imply acceptance of the lease terms continuing (which is why you should always have a holdover provision). 

@Jason Wray Thank you very much for this response ..I’ve never sold one of my rentals before feels like I’m cutting off a leg and paying close to 100k for cap gains is really starting to eat at me 😵‍💫Any chance you would be so kind as to send me a link to something in the ballpark of what you’re suggesting this way I can get an idea of area and what this type of property could look like!

Hopefully in writing....I believe you have a leg to stand on here...They cannot just double the price without your approval.As has been said, contact the PM and have a heart-to-heart talk.
