Some key qualities to look for include:- **Responsive communication**: A PM company that keeps you in the loop and addresses issues promptly- **Local expertise**: Knowledge of the Birmingham market and experience with Section 8 tenants.- **Proactive maintenance**: Regular inspections and quick resolution of maintenance issues to keep tenants happy and properties in good condition- **Transparent reporting**: Clear and detailed financial reports so you know exactly where your money is goingIf your current PM isn’t meeting these standards, it might be worth exploring other options.
