Hi everyone!
I've been learning, reading, listening to a lot of great BP content over the past 2 years and finally have my first property under contract! What a wild and fun journey to be on!
A common theme is the importance of a good property management company for a successful investment. I have called several and finally talked to one that is accepting new properties, responsive, and professional. It's a smaller property management portion of their larger Real Estate Agency.
Has anyone on BP had luck in the Ann Arbor or Ypsilanti area finding other good, reliable, reputable PMs? Any names/suggests are most welcome.
Thanks for everyone who makes this such a vibrant community!

@Theresa Hansen Beal Properties owns and manages half of Ypsi (including my properties) and does an incredible job. I’ll send you an invite to connect and I would be happy to introduce you to the owner via email.

Hi @Zachary Metler! I actually did try to call Beal already, but they said they're not taking any more properties at this time. Sounded like maybe they were going to focus on a different aspect of their business.

Probably swamped after they acquired half of the apartments in Ypsi!

We use Baker Street for our duplex in Ann Arbor. Overall we are very happy with them; they have a great tenant and landlord online portal, good communication with landlords, manage all inspections with the City for rental CofO, and a 7% management fee which is quite low compared to average rate of 10% around here. I did have one issue with them where they hired an insanely expensive snow removal company last winter who charged us $1,000 for just 3 snow plows, but other than that we've been quite happy with them. Happy to answer any questions you have about them.
