Seeking Strong Property Management Co (Recommendations pls!)

[Lisa Jones]

Hi Everyone,

I own a small 4 unit bldg. in DC with mostly section 8 tenants.I am seeking a strong management company that can do most of the heavy lifting as I will need to travel more this year for work. Its important that they understand the DC laws and do not grow weary given the issues that section 8 tenants can bring. I am finding that it is extremely difficult to find good property managers in DC.I don’t know what it is but in my experience they have been mostly terrible, do the bare minimum and take more than their fair share (ie pocket rent money by hiking up expenses, very unprofessional, etc.) If I had the knowledge years ago (when I bought the property) that I have today, I frankly would never have bought in DC. But back to the topic at hand – any recommendations on any good property managers?
