Property Management Repair Questions

[Carlos Quiros]

Hello to all-

New investor question to all that can answer. I have a new duplex, needs work. Property management contractor is about 15% higher vs a contractor I found.

How does one go about refusing to use their contractor and payment. Can I pay the contractor I found myself and just let them know the work is being done or is it best to run everything through the manager?

Thank you in advance

You simply tell them not to do the work and that you will manage the rehab.  I've done this many times.
