Post Reasons For and Against Property Management!
I am a property manager in the Atlanta area and would like some feedback from the Bigger Pockets Community.
My investor friends: What are some reasons for signing with a property management company? What are some reasons you have avoided signing with a property management company?
Please share your experiences as well. Looking for honest feedback to help improve my business.

@Tyler Chenault, I think it can be worth the cost depending on many factors, but we self-manage for the learning experience. We have no real estate background, so every phone call, reported issue, tenant screening, etc has added to our knowledge base. I don’t love it, but solving problems on our own gives us some pride that we can get things done. We manage 13 units, and I’ll hire a PM for our next purchase, as property management isn’t my passion, but it’s been a good experience so far. Good luck!
