Denver property manager recommendations and a sad story

[Christopher Cole]

I need a property manager, and nobody I have called passes my first qualification standard: they actually answer the phone when I call during business hours.

I don't want to have to leave a message. I don't want my tenants to have to leave a message. I don't want potential tenants to leave a message if they're interested in the property.

Any good recommendations? I've seen several on these forums, and I've called them all. Nobody answers the phone.

-------------------

Now for the sad story, in case you're here for that.  I had a GREAT property management firm.  Then the main guy just...bailed or something. They quit doing anything for anybody. They have run through several people in the meantime, everyone promises to be better, but nobody delivers.

My last tenant was growing marijuana in the basement.  Then they charged me for cleaning it up (not the last tenant's security deposit). Then they got a cat lady in afterwards (no pet policy in my rental). No pet rent being paid. 

They "never receive" my emails or voicemails. Property management is the pits.

I self manage 9 single family home, 5 are mine and 4 are family. I work full time and they are located all over the country. It has it's moments but if your interested you could probably just do it yourself. Sounds like it might be easier than trying to hire someone. I have had such great luck that I even started a free "how to" website on self managing rentals.
