Property management for a SFH: big companies vs one-person shop
I'm looking for a property manager for a SFH that I have because I'm out of state. Most companies I found manage 100+ doors and have a whole team, but I also found a couple smaller "companies" which are really just realtors who manage a few houses for a few clients. These smaller ones seemed to be a lot more enthusiastic and hard working and I really liked them, and they're also much cheaper.
If I have a multifamily building or many doors to manage I'd definitely go with a proper company, but I'm wondering if for just one simple home that's needed? Do you have any experience with small vs big teams, or any opinions on this issue?
