How to Pick a Property Management Company

[Erik Andersen]

Hello everyone!

Now this might be a dumb question, but how do you guys go about picking a property management company? I'm just starting out and I will need to work full time until I have enough properties. To start I wont have the time or resources to directly manage the properties for repairs and tenant issues, and afterward I'd like to use the time I've gained toward building the business bigger. Is this form of outsourcing a bad idea? A lot of the material I've seen on this site is in relation to the person setting up and running thier own property management company/systems once they buy thier first property. That said, is it a viable choice to have all property acquisitions managed by the same company you've hired once you've found a found a good property management company?

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
