Post: In need of a property manager

Thanks everyone for the responses. I was able to close on my property without any problems. I did contact 2 management companies. One I have to wait two days just for a consultation. I don't know how that one would work out. The other should send me a contract so I can review it. I wouldn't say I liked their online reviews.

I['m looking for some recommendations. I'm closing on a Duplex this weekend. I need a good property manager for someone just starting to invest.  Does anyone have someone they've worked with for a year or more that they are happy with?

Is there someplace that we can type in an address and see what type of neighborhood it is? I would like to only invest in B and C  neighborhoods. I've been checking properties online. It would be great if I could find out what type of neighborhood it is by typing in an address.


 Can I ask you why are you only looking into B and C areas in Cleveland? Cleveland is very block by block so I would recommend working with locals who know the areas inside and out. 

Also, what are you trying to achieve with your investment? Is it appreciation or is it cash flow? Unfortunately you can't achieve both in Cleveland since the areas that have gentrified already have gone up extensively in price so you will be hoping for future appreciation and won't be cash flowing.  


 Vadim, I am looking into the B and C neighborhoods because I want to have as few problems as possible. I thought I had a good agent but it's not working out. I told him several times what I wanted and even gave him examples. He keeps sending me what he wants me to see. He also tried to suggest I pay 20 thousand over asking.

Since I'm just starting out, I am looking for cash flow. Once I have a few properties, I will look for appreciation.

 The only one I know is this one: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/4704/42419-cleveland-neighborhood-grades

I don't think it spoon feeds you neighborhood class just by typing in the address, but you might find it useful.

I notice some of the A zones on the lake, back right up to huge crime areas...with no buffer zone of B or C.

Good Luck!


 Scott, thanks. It looks like a great starting point.

Adam, I am basically looking in the Cleveland area. Do you have references I can check?

No, you have to learn the skill of identifying these yourself. You can get a feel for it by researching on google maps and cross referencing county assessor records for sale prices. Another good way is to have a local expert to double check the information. 


 Max, thanks for the information. I have some work to do. I am also an out-of-state investor. I have to find a local expert to check the information.

Thomas, Section 8 guarantees a steady income. Tenants with Section 8 will not want to mess up their vouchers once they qualify for it. I have a Section 8 tenant in the only house I own. The first of the month the rent is in your account. You can also look up the amount Section 8 is willing to pay for your rental.

I just landed in Cleveland. I'll be here for today and tomorrow. Is anyone available to show me some multi-families they have available today or tomorrow?
