Property management buffalo, ny

About to close on a duplex in Buffalo, NY. Anyone have recommendations on property management companies?

Hello @Alex Aguilar!  Sorry it's taken me a while to respond...!  Erm, I have not heard of or dealt with Investors of Buffalo but I have seen them online.  

I live in the UK and manage my property from here. Because of the time difference I am able to do my UK work in the morning and slot the US stuff in the afternoon.  I do get a little help from Housing Assistance in Buffalo because both tenants receive financial assistance with paying the rent. It works for me and I would like to expand on what I do.  It's sometimes quite challenging, especially with the time difference but overall I am happy with how things are.  I feel that I have quite a good understanding and relationship with both tenants and speak to them regularly and so far I believe both tenants are happy - they have both said they are anyway!  I'll be honest... because of the troubles I have had in the past it has put me off employing another PMC. Both promised to behave and both ripped me off which, as you can imagine, is incredibly upsetting and frustrating.  @Jacob Lea-Kelly you are right and I agree, it's tough and I feel that I was an easy target because I lived some 4000 miles away from the property. Taking legal action has crossed my mind a few times.  I was really concerned about managing my own property in the beginning because the last PMC (DASA) really put me off even contacting my tenants - I believe it was done purposely and purely so their pockets could be lined with my cash.  Now I wonder why I didn't jump in earlier than I did - or maybe I have been lucky with the tenants....  If you have the time, @Alex Aguilar maybe consider managing your own property....? I have found it is not as bad as I originally thought....  S.
