Out-of-state investors: RE Agent as Property Manager? Yay or nay?

[Evan Liu]

How do you all feel about using the same person as both your real estate agent as well as your property manager when investing out of state? Assuming the agent is also a professional property manager, I can see a lot of benefits in using the same agent as a property manager, but I'm concerned it could be a mess if things go wrong without other boots on the ground. Has anyone used the same person as their agent and property manager and what was your experience like?
