Moving cross-country, planning to rent out condo

[Andres Munoz]

I'm planning to move cross-country soon (2000+ miles) and plan on renting out my current condo. The unit is in top shape and updated, plus located in a great location. My concern is whether I should hire a property manager or try to manage it myself. This would be my first official unit in my portfolio.

I would like to manage it myself if possible as to keep my cash flow higher. Just not sure if I'm being too optimistic about it.
