We self manage allow us to keep firm control, lower vacancies.

Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

One of the things I did when I started was to just go for control of property that was run down or vacant or whatever by using the old straight option.

I am now venturing into other strategies, but buy and hold with a good interest rate and a payment you can control when the rents don't come in is powerful overtime. 

I messed around with all that stuff a decade ago and it's really just  a bunch gobble de gook that SEO companies push.

It may work well for them and it's a winner even if they work 50 hours a week as they were making 20k before and they control their own destiny. 

We haven't decided whether yo buy here or not we are still following the OKC market and looking at MD and Delaware for our next purchase.Good for you for not giving up.

Upper Darby is in Delaware County.
