Property Management Firms in Houston & Flooding

[Syed Rizvi]

Who are the property managers you use in Houston? What are some reliable firms to work with? Do you ask the property management firms to manage your asset(s) full-time, or do you simply consult with them on occasion?

As an additional note, I was driving past a couple of fourplex MFH properties in Houston/Stafford this past weekend. I struck up a friendly conversation with one of the tenants and asked her opinions about living there. One thing she brought up made me particularly concerned. She discussed her experiences living at the property during the Memorial Day floods of 2015. She mentioned that the flooding completely filled up the parking lot located in front of the property and the water reached inside the bottom two units of the fourplex. Needless to say, her vehicle was totaled and the bottom two units of the fourplex needed to have their carpets restored/replaced (in addition to other forms of cleaning in these units). Apparently, only the top two units of the fourplex were left undamaged. 

My questions from this story are: did you experience similar events during the Memorial Day floods? How did you cope with such challenges? 

Feel free to chime in and answer any of these questions. Thanks!
