Managing properties in Philadelphia remotely

[Sudhir N.]

Hello,

Greetings! I presently have a few multifamily properties in Philly. I have been with a property mgmt. company for the last 6+ years and thinking of managing on my own. The people are nice, competent, but the cost-value equation is no longer justifiable. I presently handle all the maintenance work working directly with the tenants. I use my own network of vendors because the company's in house rates are exorbitant and the contracted vendors mostly unsatisfactory. The tenants use the mgmt. company's portal for opening work orders which get forwarded to me. The company helps with the rest of the stuff like rent collection, late payment follow up, advertising vacant units, showings, tenant screening, leasing, renewals, reports, and evictions (which is a corner case). They also provide an after hours phone line to report emergencies. I think I can hire a realtor for some of the tasks above (showings to leasing) and an attorney for late payments follow up and evictions. The one critical area I am struggling to line up help with is after hours emergency support. I searched up companies offering ala carte mgmt. services and did not find any in Philly. Any suggestions? If you also have any references for a legal service for sending late payment notices, evictions, etc., please share.

Thanks!
