Self Management or Property Manager
My wife and I are about to put our home up for rent. This will be our first foray into landlording. I am torn between self managing or going with a property manager. The only thing that concerns me about self managing is the legal side of things. I am not worried about handling the maintenance calls or any of that. Is it best for newbies to start with a property manager and give up some of the profit as a learning cost?
