Self-Manage Questions & Concerns

[Eric George]

Hey Everyone! Looking to purchase 1-2 single family homes this year and trying to determine whether to self-manage or hire a property manager. Properties will be close by (30 mins) and currently do have the time to my knowledge of what it would take to self-manage. What risk do you put yourself in when you self-manage? How do you decrease your risk as a landlord. If I was to hire a property management company, who do you recommend that serves North Texas? Any other insight that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
