Attention to detail and communication are key! A good PM is one that understands things are going to go wrong but has transparent and effective processes in place to be as proactive about issues as possible. 

Another thing to look for is if their incentives line up with yours. Does their company benefit from things that don't benefit you like turnover/evictions or are they designed to better align with your interests? 

Food for thought!

As an Investor/PM I would suggest a few areas like Whitehall, Reynoldsburg, or Gahanna to invest in. The investor side of me sees a lot of opportunity to BRRR with some of the older builds in this area and appreciation potential. The PM side of me sees areas like Franklinton, Southern Orchards, and Hilltop as nightmare areas to try to find a good tenant in. Worthless to buy an appreciating property that you cant keep a well qualified tenant in for more than 1-2 years.

Bests of luck!

Check out RL Property Management Group! It's an investor centric company that focuses on long-term appreciation, low vacancy percentages and maintenance of the property. They typically deal with A-C+ class properties.

Hey everyone! Really excited to begin my venture into investment as well as podcasting as a long-time real estate business development manager.  I know, I know, I know, everyone and their mom has a podcast nowadays, but I really wanted to see if there were some topics other real estate investors may be interested in hearing covered. We could always use some interview guests, topics ideas, and interesting stories you may have had along the way as you build your real estate portfolio.
