Hello,

I recently purchased a fixer upper duplex in the Grays Harbor area. It will need some work so now I am reaching out looking for a good GC that is good to work with. 

Thank you for  your help!

Thank you Lawrence very good points

@Bob Estler, very valid point thank you for the heads up. I've seen several posts / blogs on how to pick a PM.

@ Ryan S., my thought process for the handyman was for maintenance issues that I would normally handle if I lived closer. Major repairs would be with a contractor. I guess the big question is do I want to handle the new lease / tenant walk throughs myself and is a PM more cost effective than me driving out there everytime I need to rent out a unit. Thank you for your input

Jason and Annunciata thank you both for your input. I'll have some direction now when considering my options

Hi BP Members,

I'm in the process of acquiring my first rental property. I am purchasing a 4plex in the Phoenix area and live in Los Angeles. Tenants have been there for 3+ years. Do I need a full time property managent company or can I use a handyman on retainer to handle the small things that come up monthly?

I do plan on making trips at least twice a year to the property.

Thoughts?
