Property Manager Vetting Questions

[Nina Granberry]

Hello BP Community

I am wondering, what are some good questions to ask to vet a potential property manager?

What things are you supposed to look for in a property management relationship? Do you recommend any podcast episodes that you've listened to that would be helpful for me to check out?

The reason I ask is because I am considering self managing my first rental property. I have been given advice to try it for a year, learn the process for myself, so that I know what to look for in a PM company. I recently finished Brandon Turner's book on managing rental properties and am now on to the book on rental property investing. So, with that information I feel confident in doing it for a year. But in the meantime, to prepare for future PMs, I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
