I have the worst Property Management experience. How are you....

[Gary Thao]

I am a long distant Landlord and have the worst Property Management experience. The first one would lie, charge me for expenses I never approved and evade my questions. Got rid of him and now this second one is doing similar. How are you finding good property managers?

Just last month, a long term tenant left. I get the statement this month and the property manager supposedly gave the tenant back all their deposit without notifying me and work needs to be done to the apartment. I'm  currently emailing her back and her latest response is, "That was her refund of security deposit. we did not take anything out because the apartment was being remodeled after she moved so Oregon kinda frowns on taking money when you are going to remodel."

What a bunch of BS. Let me know what you'd do.

When I lived in Los Angeles I self-managed my properties in Pennsylvania and did a fine job. I did a heck of a lot better than most (if not all) local PM companies would have done and I didn't have to pay 10+% for it. 

Far away and need to rent a unit out? Pay someone from BP who is local to your rental to do a 2 hour Sunday showing to show the place to all qualified parties.
