I was wondering who might be brave enough to share any unexpected pitfalls/struggles that they encountered by being their own property manager of a multi unit apartment.As I began thinking about managing a multi-unit (especially one such as a 10-30 unit dwelling), I tried to think outside the box about possible unforeseen challenges outside of the typical calls "my sink doesn't work" or "my toilet doesn't flush". 

However you just need to be liquid enough to cover the unexpected .. after building 300 plus lots in the last 5 years or so.. this is the first time this occurred ..  

I am looking to self manage this property, and outsource cleaning, maintenance, and any other unexpected issues. 

Hi BP friends,Can you recommend a real estate photographer in Maui that makes pictures vibrant and delightful?

Make sure that you've compensated for your lack of experience with your knowledge and education and have enough capital set aside so you're ready for any unexpected expenses!

Had unexpected issues come up during rehab and the market didn't respond like we thought it would Bought it 50/50 with a partner we'll lose a few bucks each on it.

Whether the agent didn't think to ask the listing agent if other offers were coming in (some agents won't even tell you yes or no to that question), or if another offer came on the radar unexpectedly, it is what it is.  

That's not counting any unexpected large expenditures.

It was a sudden, and unexpected death and I didn't have keys, had never met a tenant before. 

I foresee a lot of unexpected projects in your future if he moves in.
