When to get a property management company

[Gerhard Listander]

I have this idea floating around in my head thats telling me whenever I buy my first multifamily property I should also get a property manager. I want to truly have passive income and dealing with all the things a property manager could deal with isn't exactly what I want to be spending my time on. My plan is to finance a multifamily property with a VA loan and start as an owner occupant. Instead of having to re-budget later to add a property manager I could just start right off the bat. I know it might seem lazy of me but I don't want my investments taking up all my time when I could be doing more things like investigating my next big deal. I'm just looking for some opinions and discussion on what the pros or cons might be. Thanks!
