Looking for a property manager for a rental in Ashtabula, OH

[Susan Tan]

Many property managers in Cleveland, OH do not drive as far as Ashtabulua, OH, which is a 1-hr car drive away from Downtown Cleveland, OH. If you're a property manager or an investor, can you please DM me to refer to a manager?  What is the property management fee, tenant screening fee? How do you price repair bills to the owners of properties that you manage? Happy to schedule an intro zoom call.

@Susan Tan our company does not manage in Ashtabula. If you are coming up short on PMs, please be careful about hiring someone to manage for you - in Ohio, one must be a licensed real estate agent to work as a property manager. The only way around it is if you self manage (manager has ownership interest in the property) or the manager is a W-2 employee of the property's owner (whether that's you personally or your LLC).

This is not legal advice, but as a PM who is a licensed agent and who works for a licensed brokerage, I am aware of the rules I myself am subject to, and unfortunately see many OOS investors who are not aware and end up in bad situations.
