If you are leaning towards using a property manager or think you may at some point, just make sure you budget for that in your analysis so that your cash flow figures are taking that potential expense into account.Since this would only be your first property, I don't think you need a professional hiring firm--it would probably be more beneficial for you to do the interviewing yourself to be sure that you set expectations properly, are aligned, and can work well together.

I have a tenant in Arizona, who moved in a month and a half ago.they keep complaining that the master bedroom is too hot.The whole house is ok but the master bedroom is hot.I offered them a portable ac, they refused took it but did not install.I offered to have a handyman come install it, they said they can do it themselves.I offered the ac guy to come check on the AC and asked them to call the guy, because he likes to schedule with the tenant directly, but they have not called himI asked if they waned me to schedule with the AC guy,- silence.They complain but wont let me schedule for them.I understand that the tenants are just complainers, but I want to cover myself legally.So in case, if they decide to take me to court, I would not be liable.What is the best way to deal with things like that?
