How much work is self managing a property?

[Reese Donohue]

Im considering self managing my first rental but id like to hear your experience managing your own. How often are you actually at the property. My biggest concern is physically having to go to the property on a frequent basis. I live 40 minutes from the market im looking at.

I know leasing and large repairs will require my presence. From what i understand landlords can have most small repairs arranged between the tenants and the contractor. Im curious how often you physically go to the property.
