Transitioning from property management company to self managed

[Maile Clancy]

Hey guys! Me and my husband are pretty new at the whole real estate investing shindig. It took a us years of research and planning to finally pull the trigger. We bought a few 4 unit properties and decided to move out of state to manage them ourselves. Our contract with our PMC is up in July and I’m looking for some of your best advice on going from using a property management company to self managing. Currently we have 12 units that a property management company helps us with but we feel like we can get more bang for our buck and much higher profits if we self manage. My husband is super handy so we can do most of the repairs ourselves and I’ll manage the requests and filling vacancies/ tenant issues. Just looking for your best advice for newbies and the best way we can set ourselves up for success since I do have a little over six months to plan accordingly.
