If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Unless you have time, desire and knowledge, hiring a property manager sounds like the right option.

On the other hand, I feel one of the main advantages of passive investments (via syndication/crowdfunding) is that I can hire a manager who has years more experience than I can ever hope to obtain myself.

@Sean Gallagher not a sales pitch, but this is what we provide for investors in Metro Detroit:)Understand that if you hire the latest & greatest PMC, many grow using poorly trained VA's. - Your portfolio will suffer:(You want a PMC that has great systems in place, including a great portal where you can keep tabs on eveything.You will also need to manage your PMC on a regular basis.

If you have no clue what you're doing, hire someone. 

With that being said, in a worst case scenario, you can always hire a property management company to handle the day to day items if it comes to that. 

@Jesse LeBlanc are virtual hugs permitted here on BP?

Been looking at different coaches and came across Ray Zhang of Virtual Land Flip on a few Youtube videos/podcasts.

We never hired a manager because it simply would have taken too much out of our profits.

It's definitely making me a better investor because I'm able to do my books myself now instead of having to hire a bookkeeper.
