Now I am investigating to find out if the repairs are legit.So far, on the move out issue, I have two vendors who have confirmed that at the least, I've been overcharged.

If your manager gets a nice big fee for every tenant he finds and signs up, and if you have constant turnover, then there is a very good chance your manager is churning the tenants: deliberately renting to people that he knows won't stay, so he can get another fee for signing up the next tenant.It would be unusual for all your different managers to be doing it, though.I've seen managers (a lot of managers) who are too lazy to screen, and they will get a troublemaker in the building who drives the other tenants out.I've also seen managers who over-charge for all the repairs, and even bill for repairs that were never done.When your buildings are spread all over the country like that, it is difficult to keep an eye on all of them.

That assumes that the property manager does a good job and doesn't overcharge you for placing tenants, scheduling maintenance, etc.

It prevents them from overcharging you for these services especially if they order it themselves.

@Lesley Ray Its all about the the team around you and protecting you from contractors that will rip you off, and PM co's overcharging you and not placing tenants.  

Most overcharges seem to occur with the title insurance, see if you can get your own.

Most investors I speak with/assist feel like they over charge and under deliver.   

It will work out in the end despite the City overcharging us all along the way.

Make sure that you are not being over charged for closing costs.

They will give you the straight scoop without overcharging.
