Renting out my townhouse: DIY vs. PM vs. Realtor

[Rafael Valdor]

hi fellow investors,

I want to rent out my townhouse in Calgary, but haven't had much luck with it on Rentfaster and Zillow.

Just a couple of tire kickers so far.

I reached out to a few Realtors (just for tenant placement) and got crickets...

So I'm going to reach out to PM's next, but I was reluctant to do it since all I hear are horror stories.

Any suggestions for half decent PM's or realtors who specialize in residential leasing?

Cheers!

Quote from @Rafael Valdor:

I hear horror stories about renters all the time, but that doesn't mean all renters are bad. Those horror stories are typically from amateur landlords that don't know how to screen tenants. The same is true with property management. Learn what a good one looks like, then take your time to find one.
