I am not fond of my current property management where almost everything is via email only 97% of the time and you go through a call center agent.

I'm particularly fond of C areas.

I'm sure there are some good ones..same as there are some good agents.So I'd like to note* my above comment was a generalization (about not being fond of turn key providers) and as long as one does their due diligence, they can choose what option is best for them.Appreciate the way you brought this to my attention Mike.

You're going to pick some number greater than what they're currently getting from the property, but less than what you expect you will be getting (factoring in of course risk, effort, expenses, and so on), and you're going to take out a financial calculator (I'm fond of the HP-12C) to turn that into a menu of terms, fees, and interest rates.
