Self-managing your own rental property can be challenging for a number of reasons:

➡️Time commitment: 

Managing a rental property requires a significant time investment. You will need to be available to show the property to prospective tenants, conduct move-ins and move-outs, handle maintenance and repair issues, and respond to tenant requests or concerns.

➡️Legal responsibilities: 

As a landlord, you have certain legal responsibilities to your tenants, such as ensuring that the property is safe and habitable. If you are not familiar with these responsibilities, it can be easy to inadvertently violate them, which can lead to legal issues.

➡️Lack of expertise: 

Managing a rental property requires a certain level of expertise, particularly when it comes to maintaining the property and handling legal and financial matters. If you are not familiar with these aspects of property management, it can be difficult to effectively manage the property on your own.


➡️ ➡️ Overall, self-managing a rental property can be a rewarding experience, but it is important to be prepared for the challenges that come with it.
