One of the biggest challenges for everyone involved is being on the same page about the actual time required for maintenance.DIY landlords rarely properly track their time when it comes to property management in general - tracking their true time invested in maintenance is where they perform the worst.Investors that hire PMCs are rarely any better at understanding the true amount of time maintenance takes.

If the partner moves out of state next year they are still a 10% owner, but you simply hire another property manager for that same 8-10%.

@Stacey OlsonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

@John Reagan Johnson hope you don't mind a PMC answering, but most of our clients hire us because:1) They live out of state and don't have time & expertise to remote manage2) They don't have the time to manage3) They don't feel they have the necessary expertise and/or don't want to risk learning as they go and making an expensive mistake.Go read Kiosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant book.

If you are unsure, to start, hire a property manager and don't let the tenants know you are the owner. 

We've always hired a tax protest company and have done so in three different states.

Leasing is a specialized skill—PMs deal with this daily, making them far better equipped to handle applications, verify income, conduct background checks, and evaluate a tenant’s overall suitability.Protecting Your Investment:The cost of a bad tenant can be far greater than the cost of hiring a professional.
