Do you use a property manager for a house-hack?

Hey Guys,

Looking to close on my first investment, a duplex to house-hack. The numbers work when accounting for management fees. However, I was wondering what you guys thought about self-managing a house-hack vs having a property manager do it for you. What do you recommend for a rookie? 

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matthew,

You do not need a management company if you are house hacking. You can definitely save that extra 5-10% by taking care of anything yourself since you live next door
