Managing Properties Yourself

[Matthew Koch]

I am hoping to get some advice/perspective. While holding a flexible, but full time job, how many properties can one person manage on their own before using a property management company? I currently have one duplex and am about to close on a single family and an additional duplex. I'm a bit concerned about what that could mean in terms of my time commitment while still working full time. Properties are about 60 years old.
