Average hours spent on rental property

[Jozy T.]

How many hours per month do you spend on your rental property?

[Paul Staszel]

It all depends!  I have a six flat and some months have been less than 5 hours others more than 40 hours.

I do all the maintenance and manage the property myself.  The 40 plus hours usually happens if someone moves out and I have some rehabbing to do.  

Hours per month can be significantly suppressed with a property manager and outsourcing maintenance and rehabbing.  

Take into consideration the type of tenant you get and also the condition the property is in.  Older properties might need updating and newer properties could be left alone other than regular maintenance.
