Hi, I am buying a new rental property out of state and will be relying heavily on a property management to run daily operations for me.There are tenants already in the property and a property manager in place that the seller is currently using.Should I just continue with the same management company (considering the tenants are familiar with them) or use my agent as the new property manager (since he knows the property well and I have worked with him closely for a month now) or look for a completely fresh property management .Can someone please help me understand what’s the best thing to go with??

@Eddie SorrellIf those market rent #'s are correct, I would clearly explain this to them, and then recommend that you offer to do some minor upgrades to the units for those existing tenants.Put up a fresh coat of paint on the walls, pay for carpet cleaning (if there are carpets), do minimal upgrades to the lighting fixtures, and maybe even throwing in some USB outlets -all relatively inexpensive upgrades to your units that will help force appreciate the rent, even if they decide not to stay.

If the HOA is willing to budget some money for fresh paint on all the exterior buildings, it is value-add and will attract more investors like me.

With this new development (no pun intended) I would love to connect with some builders who might be looking to meet some new agents or bring in some fresh faces.
