If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

I'm also relieved that I hired a local real estate attorney to help create a county-specific, legal MTR agreement for our house-hacking situation.

For example a contractor I hired told me another investor had just offered him a bundle of five homes.

I am much happier with it than with Leadpropeller or last developer I have hired.

The owners of the duplex hired a property management company to manage the duplex but for their leasing agreement, they amended the leasing agreement so that the tenant would pay on the 25th, instead of the first.

I recently hired a property manager to handle almost everything, like the rental license, lead inspection, and repairs.

We bought it with a HELOC on my mom's primary residence for the first $40k, then hired a contractor for demolition and major renovations, did cosmetics ourselves and used more heloc money totaling $60,000. 1 year later we listed it on VRBO and AIRBNB and refinanced the $100000 into a fixed rate mortgage.

However when you think about the number of active people on the forums vs the number who are in that specific area and have hired property managers (meaning they're not self-managing) the pool gets a bit small. 

Two calls to hire someone to manage mowing and snow; and another to manage operations it would truly be Passive.  

Hire a new PM and evict them.
