What is everyone's obsession with hiring PMs!?!

[Andrew Acuna]

I've been on BP for a bit and I've noticed something. I love the landlord forums, but any time someone poses and issue there inevitably is someone(s) who bring up hiring a PM. Can we just agree that a PM is not a fix all and can in many cases make things worse with a high monthly fee? I don't really see the allure here. My point is this- just because there's an issue (as there always will be) does not mean someone is not fit to landlord.
