Seeking Recommendations on PM in GBRA

[Yangbin Tong]

I just became a landlord a couple of month ago, using buy and hold strategy. The original plan was to manage the property by myself. But after the first couple of months, I'm exhausted. Wasn't prepared for the flood of complaints and demands. The tenant had raised multiple issues but most of them turned out to be no issue. Still I spent time and money on the maintenance and repair professionals. I have a full-time job and young kids. It amazes me how so many people have managed their life, work and REI all together. Maybe I'm just not a good multitasking person. Please share your recommendations on property manager in the Greater Baton Rouge Area. Meanwhile, I would also like to learn from other people's experiences and advices. Any thoughts and comments are welcome. I appreciate your time!

Hi @Yangbin Tong, I'm pretty sure our sons are in the same pre-K class!  I actually own a property management company here in BR. I just left a voicemail on your cell returning the call to my office.  Feel free to call back when you get a minute so we can see if we'd be a good fit for each other (my # should be in my signature below). If you decide to stick with self-management, there's a great book called Landlording on Autopilot by Mike Butler.  But professional management may be the best option if you're looking to save time and/or be hands-off.  Looking forward to talking soon!
