Should I become a Certified ​Property manager??

[Cayden Williams]

I recently made my first purchase on a home less than two months ago and I am currently working to convert the add-on to a third bedroom in preparation for renting next August.  I am not sure how I should handle my first rental property whether I should manage the property myself or hand it off to a property management company around me.  If I do it myself should I become a "Certified Property Manager" or skip that step?  I really appreciate the help and any feedback.
