Cleveland Property Management

Member since 2021 · 3 posts · 12 votes

Hi! Looking for some advice from fellow investors in Cleveland. 

I have been having a hard time over the last 2 years finding a decent property manager. My previous property management kept inaccurate books, was unreliable with owner draw, and placed an unqualified tenant that has taken me a year + to get evicted (still an ongoing process). I finally switched to a new company in Jan 2023. Im getting several red flags, poor communication, took 3 weeks to post a 3 day eviction and then another 4 weeks to file paperwork with the court. I am paying for landscaping services and my long term tenant was reached out to me to let me know the PM has never been to the property for landscaping etc, etc... 

Cleveland has been a rough go for us in terms of finding good help; but I still believe in the potential of this property. I have feelers out on Realty Now and Cleveland Property Management group as potential new PMs. 

Any suggestions of reliable PM in the area? Duplex is located in the Euclid area. 

Thanks!

Julie

    Hi Bob.  I am having the same trouble as Julie.  Cannot find a good PM that communicates well, that actually manages the property properly and that doesn’t charge fee after fee after fee.  Can you help me?

    Hey Bob, it would be great to hear more about who you recommend in the Cleveland area. I’m also looking for property management and notice some of these companies are charging many fees for their services and if I added up amount to nearly 20% of gross income.

     Hello Bob, I'm also having a difficult time finding good PMs in Cleveland. I was previously working with a large national PM. There prices were ridiculous that I had to drop them. Do you have any suggestions on hungry PMs that perform well in the area?
