Really, I am very interested in helping investors with rental homes with their property management. I can discuss fees and we can make them work to please everyone involved.

Hi Steph,

Great to see that you took the feedback to heart. Your initial pricing may work for higher end properties - just not for what I have. Anyway, that is right in line with what I'm currently paying and honestly, I'm not overly happy with my current property manager (there's a surprise... sorry, nothing but bad experiences to date).

Anyway, how do you intend to service such a wide geography? The main thing as a landlord that I want from my property manager is the ability to respond quickly, and that oftentimes means the ability to get to the property in short order. Last time I checked, it's more than a 10-minute drive from Ohio to Illinois.

I like your idea of keeping the junk fees out. Those can be annoying. Other things that are key for a good property manager beyond the responsiveness that I always have trouble finding: knowledge of local laws (eviction process, proper lease terms, etc), good local contacts for repairs/maintenance, tenant screening capability, to name a few.

If you're located near New Castle, IN, I'd be happy to talk to you further. Either way, good luck in your venture.

Oh yes, I always take feedback to heart, the opinions of others and the help of others is so valuable to success! And again, thank you for your feedback.

As far as response time. As my portfolio grows, the need for me to hire people in the locations I service will be something inevitable for me.

To start out, I locate a " handyman" contractor in the area to handle all emergencies that need done quicker than I can get there. But, driving is part of my job...so even if its late at night, I will drive to the location no matter the distance.

I am about an hour away from New Castle. Although that may seem like its a long distance, I work primarily in Indy now, and this is just as far. I have not had any issues with distance. I also make scheduled " visits" weekly to the properties, therefore, I am in the area every week. I do not stop and check in with the residents every week, I usually do that once a month, but I do drive by the properties to make sure they are in good condition and that they are cleaned up and things look good.

Thanks again for your insight!
