Property management on a one time basis.

[Amit Ramraz]

Hello Bigger Pockets, I own and rent a couple of houses I am renting in Dallas TX for which I am doing property management by myself.

I am looking for a service provider who can help me take care of issues that are coming up every once in a while on a one time basis. for example, taking care of appliances, buy a new fridge if needed, etc.. I understand that it might be more expensive.

Are you familiar with such service and can recommend/link me.

Hi @Amit Ramraz    Can't your tenant take care of these small things for themselves?  When something breaks I usually give the tenant a budget and tell them find quotes for repair or pick out the new appliances themselves.  They'll send me 2-3 quotes for tree trimming or house painting, or links to new appliances, etc. and I'll pay on-line and let the tenant coordinate delivery, etc.  I think most people appreciate being able to choose what goes into their home and I appreciate the decreased hassle and expense.  

When it's done the tenant sends me pictures of what was done along with serial numbers, guarantee paperwork, etc. as appropriate and I've spent 20 minutes on the project and no extra money for a PM.
