 Thanks Russell,

I already have coin operated laundry. I am having more trouble keeping the properties rented even in a decent area with professional management. Looking to gear up my knowledge to oversee the PM.

Hello, Does anyone have suggestions on good multi family property management books? Looking for ways to maximize profits. Thanks

Vlad, How long have you been with them? Are they good at keep occupancy high and expenses reasonable? Thanks for the reply

Hi Joe, Have you had any kick in your search? I'm considering a change in PM in the area. Thanks

Hello, Does anyone know any good property managers in the Youngstown Ohio area? Thanks

Hello, Is there any good sites online that reviews property management companies?

thanks everyone!

Very helpful comments here.

@Peter MacKercher I think you kind of hit the key points of my question which is, if my management company has say 1200 units and i am only 95 of those, I'm getting 10% of their time and the highish vacancies (i believe) may be a reflection of my PM company not having enough time to dedicate to my properties. Also, they have a 60 unit property a mile from mine that is relatively similar to my 60 unit and i wonder if mine is the first or 2nd property they show for potential renters in that area. Theyve had the other one under contract much longer.

I have 95 units and have been told for around $15 an hour in NE ohio I can hire a manager in house. I'm currently paying about $2200 per month. 40 hours a week at $15 an hour would work out to $2400 a month

Hello, Does anyone have thoughts about hiring a property manager in house vs hiring a management company? I have always hired a management co with lackluster results and always feel as if they may be a bit too busy with other properties to properly handle mine. Thoughts? Thanks

thanks @Stan Butler, i read it a couple times but figured that is what you meant when you said they must be buy and hold investors based on the price they were buying at. Any creative suggestions how to find flippable deals?
