Landlord or Property Manager
I am new to Real Estate Investing and BP and was thinking about getting into buying SF rental properties. It seems like most people on BP uses a property manager, but I was wondering if any of you manage your properties yourself?
I'm just starting out, so I would only have one property to manage and thinking I could save on the management fee which is 8-10% plus half to one month's rent.
My main concern would be actually renting the house out. The only way I know how to advertise is on Craigslist. Does this work for you that manage your own properties? Do you use an agent to help you out?
