Hardest Part of Being a landlord??

[Ryan Graves]

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to the site and have been learning a ton poking around here. This is one of my first posts so please be gentle. I'm asking for two reasons... first I am about to self manage for the first time shortly and two I am going back to school for business and I have a project coming up that I'd like to be in this field. Thanks for the answers you can provide!

1) Do you have a property manager?

2) What is the biggest pain to deal with as a landlord?

A) Finding Renters.

B) Dealing with phone cause and repair issues.

C) Landscaping.

D) Association conflicts.

E) Late Payments/Evictions

F) Random legal issues.

G) Other - Please explain!

3) What is one issue stopping you from taking on more properties other than finances?

4) If you could make 1 issue go away permanently, what would it be?

5) Why do you chose to manage yourself instead of with a property manager (if thats the case)?

6) How much time per month do you spend on management related tasks?

Thanks so much for the answers you can provide!
