To hire a PM or not...

[Jillian Wright-Martin]

I have an owner-occupied duplex (100 yr old structure). Great tenants *knocks on wood*. I am stretched past capacity as a full-time working single mom to a young child. If I had one less major responsibility, I'd be fine keeping up on all the property maintenance myself, but I am maxed out. I am wondering if hiring a property manager would be helpful as an ally/advisor in keeping this building in good repair. This is the first time I've considered it, and appreciate any input on what to look for in a company or PM, reasonable cost, or other considerations as I think about this as an option. Thanks all!!
