Your Time Is Worth More Than You Think ⏳

[Gia Hermosillo]

This past long weekend, I had a moment to reflect—and here’s a question I think more investors should ask:

Did your property manager call you this weekend?
About an emergency? A decision? A repair? A tenant issue?

If so, ask yourself this:
Are they managing your property… or are you managing them?

The point of hiring a property manager isn’t just to check a box—it’s to buy back your time. To know that when something comes up, it’s already being handled without you needing to pause your life or weekend plans.

A great property manager acts like an operator: solving problems, anticipating issues, protecting your asset and your time. A manager who constantly needs your input to move forward? That’s not management—it’s delegation without support.

And I get it—some people see property management as an expense. But the truth is, it’s an investment. In your peace of mind, your time, and ultimately, your portfolio growth.

So here’s my two cents:
If you’re constantly being looped in for problems you didn’t create, it might be time to evaluate if your PM is really aligned with your goals. You deserve a manager who helps you scale—not one who slows you down.

👋 If you’re in the area, (or just want guidance on how to choose the right manager), feel free to reach out. Always happy to share what to look for—and what to avoid.

You've got the problem backwards!

It's not PMCs contacting owners with problems, it's owners trying to micro-manage their PMC!
