Self-Manage or Hire a PM? I Need Your Input
Hi, all,
I invest in single-family and small multifamily properties, and like many of you, I’ve worn all the hats: screening tenants, handling maintenance calls, tracking down late rent, and everything in between.
Lately, I’ve been exploring how technology could help streamline some of the day-to-day challenges that come with managing rental properties; especially as portfolios grow. I’m not here to pitch anything. I’m still in the early stages of understanding what actually works, what doesn’t, and where the biggest gaps are.
That’s why I’m reaching out to the investor community. I’d love to hear your perspective:
• Do you currently work with a property manager? What do they do well, and where have they fallen short?
• If you’ve chosen to manage your rentals yourself, what led to that decision? Was it about control, cost, trust, or something else?
I’m trying to get a clearer picture of how investors are navigating property management today. There are a lot of assumptions floating around about what landlords want or need and I have my own thoughts, but I’d rather hear it directly from people who are in the trenches.
Feel free to share your experience in the comments, DMs, or we can set up a quick call; whatever’s easiest. I really appreciate any time or insight you’re willing to offer.
Thanks!
