Property Management Consultation Fee

[Curt Bixel]

I have a small portfolio of rental properties in Columbus, Ohio.  I am looking to expand my portfolio in the near future, and will likely get to the point where it makes more sense to hire someone else to do the property management.  The units I currently own have little vacancy and the tenants have been trained to pay on time, and I have a good system set up with handymen, HVAC people, etc.  As such, managing the properties currently does not really take that much time.  

That will likely change in the next year as I expand.  Right now, I would really love to take advantage of the expertise a great property manager might have as far as what items to update in a rental I currently own, what a real market rate rent is for a property that is even more dependable than what I can determine with Rentometer, and a general take on how good an area might be as far as property management is concerned.  

In the time period between when I need a property manager, is it possible to pay a property manager a consulting fee $50/hr, $100/hr, $150/hr, for this sort of advice?

Curt, I know some PM that I can send you a message about. From what I've seen PM try and stay in area's that they themselves would live in. Your portfolio is in a higher class of Columbus. PM's would probably want to connect with you just for a chance to win your business. Leverage that! 

Would love to connect soon as things continue to open up here in Columbus!
