Who will manage it for you? 

Hi all,I'm looking for recommendations for a property manager for my 8-unit apartment building in Cullman, AL.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Marcos De la CruzWe manage almost 100 S8 leases.S8 is NOT the cure for tenant nonpayment issues!

Rentrange uses data from large property management companies just like mine.

Morris was very much representing Rust Belt D'class management as a walk in the park, color-by-numbers project and telling his people to rest assured that it would all work out in the end.

We talked about an aggressive paydown at a rate of $5k for the next 6 months to make the deal sweeter for the next person, but renting it would be preferable to that I believe since I can get a higher return on smaller development projects at a burn rate like that. 

I got great value from a $200 course on how to use Quickbooks for managing SF rentals. 

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

I've been working as a construction manager for years, as well as my partner, so we are not completely unfamiliar with construction, subcontractors, etc.

I want to know more about the area and build a team that can help me purchase and manage properties.
