Leasing and self-managing during COVID-19

[Solomon Morris]

After completing a rehab in march, I received an email from my PM this morning regarding us having an approved applicant. This being under 30 days of completing work and putting the property on marketing networks such as zillow, trulia etc. Although I am happy, I was prepared to buckle down for a longer holding period.

I work full time but I've always questioned the feasibility of running my own property management to save on PM related expenses. Are established firms more resistant to downturns and other economic threats? How are self-managed operations doing?
