Looking for a Property Manager in Columbus
Hello,
I am looking for a Property Manager in Columbus for my 4 unit located near The OSU. I have prospective tenants ready to move in the only vacant unit, which is furnished. However, I need someone to be boots on the ground as I travel extensively for my job.
Thoughts everyone?
Cheers
David
I use Donny Thompson of ERA Real Solutions Realty in Columbus. He has a big business, managing 1,500+ doors. He has a lot of people working for him. In house maintenance guy and in house contractor. He's done pretty well by us. If you can't find his number on the internet, message me.
My team has a management side that does good work. They run a tight ship on screening and have a almost non-existent eviction rate. Not a bad idea to shop around at a few spots. The Trinity Group is the name! Hope it helps.

In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.
It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.
So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.
EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean? What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.? You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!
This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.
The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!
We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord. Beyond the Monthly Management, Placement & Maintenance fees, all other fees in our contract are IF EVENT -> THEN fees.
We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:
We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.
EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!
P.S. If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general. Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

Hi Jon, may you please message me Donny's number as well? I currently have a 4plex and will be investing in 2 more this year.
