Hey BP fam! 

As I am starting in the Property Management business I wanted to stop and ask y'all what are the main expectations for your PM. 

What are the must haves and what would be a nice little extra service?

@Scott Morongell Thanks for the reply! I am starting as a PM so I am trying to educate myself on why people look for my services and also what are the expectations.

I was wondering how the luxury vinyl plank competes with HW, you gotta love the fact that its waterproof and pretty soft. Most of them come with the cork bottom or some kind of soft underlayment.

@Steve Sun Hey Steve! I am just starting out in Real Estate, I am a property manager in Lubbock TX but I know that the company I work for manages for quite a few investors out of state! It's not a big town about 300K people but having Texas Tech university surely helps. 

@Michael Kistner 

Hey Mike! I am glad to hear that you have a good experience with the company I work for! I am ready to start managing some properties, the support system here is pretty awesome!

Thanks for the input as well! I see that you usually need a PM if you are out of state.

@Bjorn Ahlblad Thanks for the answer! Would you ever even consider buying a "D" property?

@Soh Tanaka Sounds pretty straight forward, thanks Soh!

@Heath Ryans Thanks for the list! One thing I thought about adding.... Do you expect your PM to file claims with your insurance company... ex. replacing a roof ?

@David Wright thank you for the advice! I didn't think about it this way before but I love the answer, getting a property manager is pretty much buying yourself some free time.

Hi Biggerpocketers! 

I am very new here and also new to the whole Real Estate industry. I recently joined a property management agency as a licensed REALTOR and I have sooo many questions!

In our portfolio, I see there are investors with just one property and others with many, my question is: 

At what point do YOU decide to get a property manager instead of managing your portfolio on your own? Is it when you reach a certain number of properties or do you generally look for a landlord? Also, what is the main thing you are looking for in a property manager?
