Property Management in Arizona

[Ashley Chris]

I live outside Arizona and own rental in Arizona.

After frustrating experience with property management companies, I plan to create an LLC for property management? Can I create this LLC under my spouse?

Trying to protect myself from trouble-some tenant litigations (potential).

Thanks

Having an LLC won't necessarily help you with problem tenants. The best thing to do is have proper screening processes in place to help reduce the potential for problem tenants. I would think that self managing from out of state would make it very difficult to meet potential applicants and to do showings, it could also make it more expensive to handle maintenance requests if you don't have boots on the ground. Have you only tried big management companies or have you considered using a small property manager that is also an investor?
