Advice needed on property managers and renting out current home

Tony D.

Hello BP!

I am seeking advice on how to go about renting out my current home in the west side of Houston, Texas (Bear Creek area). I am planning to move out of the state so my thought was to get a property manager. Are there property managers that would take on just 1 SFR? Also, the house is a bit older (1970's) and I know needs some work done to it. Do property managers help determine if a house is "rent ready" or make recommendations on what needs to be improved/fixed before it can be rented? Do I also need a real estate agent to list the home for rent or can all this be handled through a property manager?

I appreciate any recommendation on property managers that can help me with this.  I look forward to hearing all your advice and suggestions.  Thanks BP!

Tony

I used Terra Residential to rent out my house when I moved out of the country and have been happy with them. They'll walk through the property with you and yall can discuss what needs to be done. I'm back in Houston and have decided to leave that renting with them to leave me time focusing on other things.
