Why do a lot of people say stay away from property managers

I am new to real estate investing. So please forgive any wording that is incorrect in this post. But, a lot of people I have talked to say to stay away from property managers and mange the properties yourself. Yet on here I see a lot of people say to use them. Which is the better option? Or is it situational?

Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

They are not cheap
