re: #40 Justanotherhuman

Funny you should mention North Carolina. When we had to give up our house and were looking for an apartment, we noticed things had really changed here in the previous 10 years or so. 99% of the buildings we looked at just had a number for “Such-and-Such Property Management” to apply. All sorts of different names, all sorts of different numbers. What they all had in common was that they were all in North Carolina. (We were looking in the southern suburbs of Seattle, for reference.)

Finally found one of the very, very few with local management that we could tell our sob story to face-to-face, but it was a hard slog. How can a property manager 3000 miles away handle a rental property? Well, I guess I don’t have to ask you—badly.
