starting out? finding a good Pm or myself

[Account Closed]

newbie here.. just a quick question for starting out would you guys buy a property and be your own landlord and deal with all the issues, or should i take the conservative approach and find a PM. I personally would like to do it myself but I know a cash flow city Rochester Ny which is like 6 hours away would be impossible to do, Another issue I have is how do I know if the PM is actually good? maybe you guys can offer some advice on any CT based PM or agents that can assist me in the process.I am trying to find a meeting to attend here in CT but alot of them are on more advanced topics
