Working with property management company

[David Smith]

This might be a silly question, but I truly don’t know. So let’s say I have an out of state rental property, then I put a property management company in place. Then the property needs its first repair. What happens? The management company calls me and I pay for the repair remote? Should they have the ability to front the repair then bill me? Do I trust them to make the most responsible call when it comes to repairs or should I arrange it? (Using a reasonably priced part, and reasonably priced repair personnel, etc.)
