A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

RM is plenty robust to handle the items you mentioned.  

Do you have some unique hybrid where you handle certain things and the PM handles others?

I highly recommend them to handle all the business structuring. 

Payed for the so called free CD/DVD stuff and all of the sudden they are charging me $40 and $98 a month for something I never signed up for.You got to watch these gurus they like to sucker people in with these free CD's,etc but in reality it's a scam to drain you of monthly charges for something you never asked or signed up for.People like that belong in jail.

Even after moving 2.5 years ago, I continued to self-manage because I had a solid network of connections that made it pretty easy to handle remotely.That said, it eventually came down to wanting my time back.

I don't have any brand preferences personally (I use Fantasy Spas at most of my units but I'm sure there are alot of reputable options), but just make sure wherever you place it is built to handle that type of weight.

Even if you handle management yourself, budget at least 10% for property management costs so you’re already prepared to scale.

Steady pay, you can learn how to manage property and deal with people, and you'll be licensed to handle sales on the side.

I handle dispositions and tech; my business partner is more experienced with exit strategies and the finer points of investment.Hope this helps!
