First time homeowner / Property manager

Kris Columna
Posted

Good evening

I am a new homeowner. I just closed on a duplex in the Tampa area in Florida a few days ago with the VA loan I am house hacking due to the regulations of a VA loan. My plan is to save until I can refinance or have enough for a 20 percent on a conventional loan (open to suggestions for a better way). Should I hire a property manager to handle all of the other stuff like paperwork, evictions, postings, etc. or should I do it myself? If either or how do I go about doing so.

Thank you

I would absolutely do it yourself. You learn so much from doing so... and it’s not that hard. Check out Cozy.co. Fantastic site and tools for smaller landlords.
