Easy way to find a Property Manager

[Kurt Traynor]

Wow.. the easiest way to find a property manager, go visit the properties they "Manage"..  My wife and I have been searching for a rental for us to live in this past month and wow, I can't believe the condition of some of these houses.. Not sure if it's the property manager or possibly the owners fault but how can you have a rental property listed and as soon as you walk thru the door...boom "Pet Urine".. disgusting.  I manage my own property but I know when I own enough rentals that I'll need a manager, I'm going to go check out their properties, that's how I'll decide who my manager will be..   What a shame that these houses we are visiting are in the condition they are in..  we've ran into houses with no power (it's 95 degrees and humid in Florida, you need A/C).. houses with urine stains and smells.  Houses with  pools with algae growing... gross...  Again, maybe the owners of these properties make these decisions but I'd be pissed off if I had a property manager and they didn't tell me that the power was off.!!!...
