If any of you need free help or have any questions regarding renting your places out just shoot me a PM.
couldn't agree more, for non local real estate owned, I've been forced to use property management, in the UK they're good (very good), in the US, really fucking useless.

there are two trains of thought, are you a passive investor in the real estate (use management) or active in your real estate portfolio (self manage - but you have to have the time and ability to manage it - you will get better results self managing local property).
