Property manager for long term rental

[Crystal Mendoza]

Hello, I have one property in Texas that I’ve had a property manager for since we are military and move often. We now have a property in Colorado Springs that will be rented out when we get orders again. My question is with all of the apps and technology these days, is it worth trying to manage this property on my own? I have wonderful neighbors who a look out after the neighborhood. I am a very hands on person and am picky about my own contractors/ repairs. I just worry about being away, possibly overseas. I am only working part time now with my w2 job so I do have some extra time on my hands. Any opinions on people who have tried managing their own properties. I think the going rate where I’m at for property management is around 9%. Thank you!!
