Jackson, 

Yes, please. Feel free to send me her info. 

The main issue is a consistent lack of effective management and oversight. For example:

1. -A tenant complained about the AC not cooling, so I replaced the entire unit with brand-new equipment. Afterward, the tenant reported the same issue. The person checking the unit just said needs replacing so we did but it did not solve the issue. $6000 repair. 
2. -They failed to realize the property had washer/dryer hookups. This led to a nearly $3,000-$4,000 bill for new installations until I clarified the situation and found that the unit already had hookups. This misunderstanding stemmed from incorrect lease terms indicating washer/dryer access when we did not actually have any washer or dryer set up. I had to get it set up due to the advertised washer and dryer costing me $$.
3. -A water heater issue resulted in repeated mismanagement—confusing unit assignments—leading to extra costs to fix the same issue 3 times and on each occasion "more fixes" needed to the water heaters that I plumber said was needed.
4. -When a tenant moved out, the management company refunded their security deposit but failed to account for damage, such as holes in walls and outlets ripped off the walls, leaving me with repair bills and also tenants moving in without the repairs being done.

Stuff like this that is consistent and when I ask questions they are defensive, when I ask for more quotes for high ticket items they are defensive. 

The property was cash flowing almost $1,000 extra per month but it is sucked into all these extra repairs. 

Now I have two vacancies and lower rents than when we started. 

I would love to connect. I will give you a call this week to the number in your post. 

I have been with a property management company for 2-3 years in Arizona and the property is being run continuously at a loss. I am looking to hire a new property manager in Phoenix. Does anyone have any recommendations for property management in Pheonix?

thanks! Yes, I agree! It does seem like there is no instant way to find them and a lot is referral based! I’ll let you know! 

This is great advice and appreciate your input! Just created account and searching now! That’s lots of experience and I have heard cleaners quitting out of nowhere or no showing so I love this advice of having two in the rotation! I do have a question, what’s the best way to share calendars with a cleaner? Is this something built into Air Bnb or are there third party apps?

Hey everyone,

I am excited and about to close on a deal for an air bnb in the Portland area up toward Mt Hood.

I am looking to build my team and looking for connections and referrals for:

- A great Cleaner 

- A great handyman

If you are in Portland and have any recommendations I’d love to hear them!
