Should I hire a property manager?

[Tyler Battaglia]

Hi all,

I’m going to be starting my real estate portfolio soon by purchasing a 2 unit multi family and living in the first unit for a while.

One thing I cant seem to decide on is should I hire property manager for a short time?

The reason I’m leaning towards it is I’m very new to this and a littler nervous to start so I feel they’d be able to help/ guide me in a-lot of different areas (Book-keeping, Finding good tenants, helping me find maintenance, rent collections etc)

Then after I start to understand best ways to run it I could just get rid of the property manager, Thoughts?
