That being said, hard money lenders can work too.

That's NOT what I"m asking here.

I know you can do a night mask but I do not like things on my face when I sleep.  

I'm being serious too. 

While there is less supply those who sell usually have too.

Remember that the property manager only makes money when they collect rent so they want rentable properties too.

You should tell him that too.

I'm in Waterbury, Vermont and although I've been a Real Estate agent for a while, I'm just getting started with investments too.

With townhomes, just factor in the extra hassles, rising fees, HOA rules and violations if your tenants don't follow them (although this happens in SF too).
