Property Mangement, why not?
If you don't have a property manager, why not?
Curious what would make you consider getting one?
What makes you not want/ have one?

For me, personally, I don't use a property manager because:
1. I do a better job self-managing than any property manager in my town ever could
2. I would much rather keep the 10+% the property manager would be paid
3. With me in charge there aren't overpriced repairs or frivolous upgrades
