I've helped self-managing investors find good property management after disastrous DIY experiences, and I've helped investors with terrible property management find qualified and reputable companies.

In previous roles, I was responsible for the asset management, capital improvement, repair, and maintenance of an ANG Fighter Base worth over $400M.

@Lina TruongStarting with mid-term rentals (MTRs) can feel daunting, but breaking it into steps makes it manageable.

You are also going to need to decide how to manage the property. 

Nita Cook is a great property manager in the area for short term and long term rentals.

Quote from @Zara Massoud: Your new PM is correct and the old ones were wrong.The property manager must have your social security or tax ID number on file.

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

No management costs as it would be self managed, and estimated property taxes by the average of the past few years.

Do you think that is fair - to be forced to pay for your manager's mistake?

Do you think purchasing a property in Philadelphia, PA, and managing it remotely from Westchester, NY (Roughly 2-2.5 hours away) with the help of a local handyman would be too much of a stretch?
