@Andre' Arceneaux definitely not cool, it's a shame. We ourselves cringe a little if we get handed a property that includes utility reimbursement (just one more thing to do) - but doesn't mean we mismanage...

So did they use a software to keep you updated mostly like with the landscaping for example?

What's something you would look for in a new company?

@Jared Wonders wow, it just surprises me that "companies" stay in business when they operate that way. Hate to hear you went through that.

Was this a company or a one man band? Or more of a contractor? How did you come to choose that particular outfit?

@Zachary Boren part of your issue might be proximity. PMs are typically very localized. Whereabouts are you, because we have literally been discussing a position in our brokerage. It's fairly fool proof.

You might describe your feelings towards RE and why you're seeking such a position?

@CJ M. Definitely when you get to that threshold, it makes sense to take everything in and pay out salaries.

I'm simply looking for criticisms of those that do hire out.

@Terrell Garren I am right there with you - bought 2 in '07 and sort of launched from there.

You have me beat though, I got to maybe 11 before I hired help and began delegating.

@Terrell Garren how many units do you take care of?

I have found some want truly passive income and take it literally, while some are definitely hands on. But our focus is growing with OOS investors.

@Bjorn Ahlblad and what would one charge for a showing? We just hold an open house a couple times a week and schedule 7 people for the one time slot.

@Terrell Garren is his name Terrell?

@Bjorn Ahlblad you were charged for showings??

@Ben Sears we hear a lot of the same! Half of us at the brokerage have invested or continue to do so, so we always use that vision of stewardship.
