How to 'Manage the Propery Manager'?
Howdy. New here and a newbie to RE with one SFH property. Had property for 4 years - Kingman AZ. I've had mostly negative experience with Property Managers. In four years had 2 PM's and three tenants. The property managers have been pretty bad with communication and bad with follow through for late rents and lease agreements, such as landscaping. I occasionally have to write to remind them that rent is due or yard work should be cared for etc. The problem is that this is such a small town (and everyone knows everyone) it's hard to find professional managers....because there are none.
So the question is - How do you manage the property manager in a small town?
