You can outsource marketing (any agent will list it), accounting (any CPA) but without relationship with Tenants you'll have constant problems.Such companies exist - they take phone calls 24/7 and then transfer them to PM to coordinate contractors.If you don't care about your bottom line, you can hire such a company: they will call to the most expensive plumber co, electric co, etc - you pay the money, they fix the problem.Fixing toilet would take you 10 min plus driving, they will call the plumbing company which takes $200 just to diagnose the issue (im not kidding - I've had such thing).

You must be in another part of BC which brings me to my next question - After you've spent the money fixing it up (which, most people will probably agree, you can assume will be at least 50% more than you've budgeted seeing as it's your first experience - and it's probably best if you calculate in a complete refurbishment of plumbing, electrical, perhaps roof or foundation - don't even try to do it piecemeal because it will screw you up in the end), after all that, will there be a GOOD market for resale?
