Thank you all for the hellos...Mindy, I have gone thru so many scenarios -- I have tried the largest PM agency, trued boutique, tried self managing and am now back to the original large PM - I was thinking maybe it was tenant selection but have found the PMs to be very incompetent, but attribute the turnover to possibly the location.. it's on a somewhat busy street, and there is a bus stop close by.
