Long distance Landlording

[Archana Vish]

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased my first rental investment (in a different city than where I live) and hired a property management company. Any tips for long distance landlording from experienced ones? I am looking particularly for information on how to keep a check on the property manager, how to manage expenses or keep an eye on them (I know property managers get a cut from the contractors they hire).

Thanks in advance!
