Paul has started at least 3 separate threads in the past few days announcing to the world the success he's having with section 8 rentals and repeatedly reminds us he doesn't have a clue how to calculate the true operational costs associated with these properties. 

I really appreciate this thread for I read everyone's comments. 

I don't want to violate any of the self-promotion rules on this thread by specifically linking or name-dropping, but it's from a data analytics platform I am working on specifically built for tracking construction, debt, and ownership activity in the Philadelphia region.I will be posting more detailed insights soon. 

I was simply reaching out to people in a thread and introducing myself and now I'm banned....can you please help?

Based on some of the previous similar threads, it seems that having a good cross-border team is a crucial step in this game.

ThanksThis thread is 4 years old and I'd be surprised if the original poster is still around.   

Quote from @Josh Bowser: Gang - I love the back in forth on this thread and looks like this post keeps getting responses!

Not sure how many PMCs you've had bad experiences with, but we'll take exception to:"Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health)".BP seems to have more threads about screening mistakes by DIY landlords as opposed to PMCs.Now, if you'd have mentioned Maintenance, you'd get no argument from me:) Even the PMC industry acknowledges maintenance as one of the biggest challenges.Rereading my post, I kinda see how I sounded negative toward PMs.
