Quote from @Jeff Betschart: Wondering what action I can take against a PM company that has not paid me my last month's rent on 8 properties and all deposits that they have for my properties.

A factor to keep in mind is the number of nights a property is available and how long the listing has been active.

So, here is what I believe: long term almost nobody beats the market, so for most people who don't mind spending the time and really become a stock market expert it's probably best to just automatically invest monthly in a low-cost index fund like the VFIAX that mirrors the S&P500.

It took us a couple of weeks but we slowly increased their rankings unit they were on page 1 (based on search parameters of course) and they got a 10 day booking soon thereafter.We use Price Labs to check out the date of the last booking.

(You need photos, size, last vet check etc…)

Ive had great success over the last 6 months I've been doing it with consistent bookings. 

Kennesaw city had an eye on us and made us pull permits for putting up dry wall in the basement.

@Ashlee Perry I noticed that but there was a pretty big jump over the last 7 /8 years in price. 

As with any market, there are areas that are not poised for long term appreciation - Sunnyside, South Park, Acres Homes, etc.
