What do you look for in boots-on-the-ground?
Hey everyone! I took over the management of our portfolio while living overseas, and found one of the most challenging pieces of management was finding someone to do an easy task (photos, move-out inspections, meeting a locksmith, etc.). I usually asked a friend or our Realtor, but would’ve preferred to hire a pro, who knew what to look for, as an investor. Now that we’re back stateside, I’ve begun this boots-on-the-ground service in our local area. I’m looking for feedback on what types of services YOU find yourself needing help with as remote landlords (or even landlords on vacation.) Please LMK if I’ve missed a task that you find yourself needing help with. Thanks BP family!
