1st time owner and landlord

[Elana R.]

Hello. I just purchased my first rental property (a condo) and this will also be my first time being a landlord - ever. To save money I am bypassing hiring a property manager initially as I need to recoup many upfront expenses. So I’m going for it! Fully renovated, modern turn-key property. I do not anticipate maintenance issues. I think it should be fairly easy to manage.

I am currently going through the screening process with prospective tenants. Is it OK that I let them know that I’m both the owner and the property manager? Or should I just let them know I’m the property manager and pretend like I’m not the owner?

Are there Issues with them knowing that I’m also the owner? Does it matter?

Thank you!
