Property Owner / Property Manager Conflict

[Mark Kelley]

I manage my own properties and have no experience using a property manager, but it seems from all I read on BP that there is often conflict between property owners and property managers. It seems a lot of the ire comes from owners who feel PMs are not doing a good enough, cheap enough, fast enough job. 

Why is there so much friction? Are there certain types of property manager and owner arrangements that work best to reduce potential for conflicts and align goals?
