At the time QB was not the best for property management.

Then pay them a fee for finding the deal and pay them 8-10% of rents to manage the rental(s).

Not impressed with other large institutional managers who are very light with boots on the ground and in many ways have the attidude they are assisting you in managing the property, not managing it for you.

@Patrick Drury what did you think of Propertyware and Rent Manager?

. - PM provides a cash based accounting report every month, for every unit under management, that clearly labels all rent, all expenses, including management fees, and the net directly ties to the amount of money deposited into my bank account.- PM is a licensed handyman, or has them on staff, and takes care of most unit turn work at a reasonable rate. - PM has no breakup/termination fee- PM does not take project management fees, except on large or complicated CapEx projects exceeding $5,000. 

Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Wrong Property Management ApproachIt doesn’t matter how good the people who are doing the property management are, if they are not using a property management approach designed for co-living, everyone loses.  

Practical Tips for Managing PropertiesFinding Good Tenants: Screen thoroughly.

I liked Ron’s 20+ year asset/construction management and investment background.

I have some clients who prefer to have a PM for maintenance/contact/rent collection/general management and will place tenants and write leases for themselves in exchange for a reduced rate.
