a-la-carte property management services

[Matt Schelberg]

My rental portfolio has grown to the point where self-managing has become a major time commitment. I am considering hiring a full-time employee to assist with managing so I have more time to raise capital and evaluate deals.  But I don't have enough work to keep an employee busy 40 hours/week, so I am considering offering a-la-carte property management services to help support the employee's salary.  

For all the self-managing landlords out there:  If you were going to sub-out some part of your property management to a third party, what would it be?  

• periodic inspections (with reports and photos)
• maintenance calls and dispatch
• move-in/move-out inspections
• tenant screening
• lease signing
• rent collection and eviction
• something else?

Trying to determine where there is greatest market demand.  Any comments greatly appreciated!
