Property Managers Virginia Beach, VA

[Steven Lapp]

I will be closing on my first property at the end of August. I am in the military and will be deploying in October.

I have been juggling with the idea of managing the property myself... I have the lease and tenant application ready to go. My realtor who is former military says it would be a possibility  to manage the the property during deployment. 

Right now I'm leaning towards managing myself, but would like to gain some insight from someone that has managed their own property from afar.

Also can anyone recommend a good property manager in the Hampton Roads area just in case I do decide to go that route?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
