Hiring property managers!

[Chalawndra Jones]

Is hiring a property management company necessary to manage your rental properties. If so how do you know if you have a good company? Any suggestions on a good company in Houston and surrounding areas?

Good Morning @Chalawndra Jones.  While I don't think hiring a property manager is necessary to being successful as a landlord,  it is something to consider as you try to work "on" your business instead of "in" your business.  I turned my properties over to management two years ago when I entered the Houston market due to my increased job demands.  I look for a manager that has good communication with both me and my tenants.  I use @Jerry Ta with PropertyCare for my management and have been pleased.  There are some other PMs in Houston with good reputations as well.   I just don't have any first hand experience with them.
