What Makes A Great Property Management Company

[Jason McGuire]

I am full-time Property Manager/Broker in Florida and manage approximately 350 SFR's. Would like to get your thoughts.

So I read a lot of posts that seem to indicate that the quality of Property Management companies is a large factor for many people choosing to self manage, or they have a Manager that they are unhappy with. I'm curious to know, for self-betterment, what the ideal Property Manager would be for some of you. We are always looking to improve our company, and I feel like you guys are a perfect group to ask.

If you have already hired, or would hire, a Property Manager, what would you expect from them? Assuming that the company charges "standard rates" for your area, what should be included in their services? What is important to you, as an investor, in regards to managing the investment for you? What would make it "worth it"?
