Hiring a PM for First Investment Property

[Jennifer Dargento]

Hi all,

I'm looking for advice or experiences if you chose to hire a PM for your first acquisition (single family). I know many investors take on the land lording responsibilities until a certain number of doors are reached, and are then able to leverage discounts or deals with PMs, but I would prefer to outsource right away.

Are there any smart questions to ask, or green flags to look for if you want your investments to be as passive as possible from the beginning? 

Any and all advice welcome!
