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!
