First time investor-hire property management company or on my own
I am planning to buy my first investment property and am considering hiring a property management company? But am unsure if it costs to much and would be better off handling that stuff myself. Any help is appreciated

@Robert Ortega it wouldn’t hurt to hire a property management company for year 1 just to get the tenant in and get a feel for ownership.
Just make sure you aren’t getting locked into anything long term.
Then the goal would be to handle the property yourself year 2.
