Has Anyone Else Had a Terrible Experience with Property Management in Jackson MS?!

Question

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced a terrible property management company in the Jackson MS area, but I have had some of the absolute worst experiences that you can imagine!

No contact, waiting weeks or months to report damages and even longer to get them fixed, no urgency to lease to anyone, telling me straight up lies about progress and acting like I don't have any other options because I'm out of state, or at their mercy somehow!!!!

Oh no, never ever again will I fall victim to this!

And thus, the call to action to create our own company!

Anyone else deal with a catastrophe like this with PM companies in Jackson MS?? Please share, I would like to know that I'm not alone in this travesty.

Which companies have you used? There has to be at least one good company in the Jackson area. Also, starting a PM company yourself is a massive undertaking. I'm not sure if your comment about starting one was serious or not though. Property management is also not a terribly lucrative business model either unless you have it connected to a brokerage and you have other companies integrated with it like HVAC, plumbing, etc to funnel more business through it.

Absolutely, PM me please.

Thanks!

Great points, and spot on! I certainly have a Brokerage associated with my assistance thankfully.

I have noticed very similar things about the area for sure. Rankin and Madison Counties are easily managed while Hinds can be tricky if you get into the wrong area and do not know it well. It can also be quite lucrative if you purchase right.

It sounds like you got out at a good time. I hope you got a beneficial deal for your portfolio.

Thanks for the input! 🙏

Thanks @Adam Michael Andrews

They're a real company but they do a ton of complicated outsourcing from other countries and it really makes their processes slow and nonhuman.

We did end up going into business for ourselves and it has really been going well. How many properties do you have in the Jackson area?

@Doug Spence Thank you for your service! I sent you a request and we would love to know more about your business and what you do for the Veteran Community.

I'm so glad to hear that your experience has been more positive working with PM's in the area. I just know there are certainly some less than stellar options out there, and it can be frustrating for sure.

What area did you go with when adding to your portfolio?

@Doug Spence

I see it says your in San Diego CA, and you're a Military Investing Contributor, thank you for helping Veterans! Exactly what does that entail when you do those types of contributions, I'm not familiar with that space.

Im originally from CA as well, I lived there for about 30 years. My husband is also a Veteran, so are the other gentlemen that we work with.

It's such a small world sometimes, what a coincidence!

We've been in business for a while now and it's actually going quite well. My husband used to be in the industry, and I had already started the real estate training, so we were able to take our experiences, and the recognizing of other companies short comings, and create the exact opposite style of business.

We have 24-48 hour lease turn around times, we communicate with our owners/investors frequently, and we're growing everyday.

We know a lot of people in the industry as well, so we have teamed up with a couple of brokers, and we have a team of contractors as well. So far everything's been great and we've really been able to give back to our community and actually help people quickly solve the problems that other places took an eternity to even approach.

Do you own any properties in the Jackson MS area?
