Are Your Rentals Actually Performing or Just Surviving?

[Andrea Jackson]

Are you currently self-managing your rentals, or working with a property management company?

I’ve been in property management for 15+ years (Section 8, tax credit, conventional), and lately I’ve been working more closely with smaller portfolios (1–20 units) here in Frederick.

I’m seeing a lot of owners dealing with:
• Late or inconsistent rent
• Maintenance delays or high repair costs
• Tenant turnover issues
• Compliance challenges (licensing, Section 8, inspections)

For those who own in the area — what’s been your biggest challenge lately?
