After years of self-managing our single-family rentals, we decided to hire a property manager to provide full service management.

A manager will roughly cost $100-$150 a month to take over a unit (it could be more or less in your market) and manage the units.

Great, there is a lot of guides and resources on managing properties here, and analyzing deals.

I am a landlord and self manage my units.  

The experience varies based on location, tenant management, and financing, but overall, it’s an excellent way to get started with minimal upfront costs.Good luck!

Price to rent ratios have skyrocketed everywhere and it's pretty unlikely rent will ever get to a point where it evens back out because at those levels it's just as cheap/cheaper to buy (not to mention most renters can't afford anything like that). 

I plan to self-manage. 

I recently started my own STR management company and I'm thinking about starting a referral partner program for real estate agents.

Thx for sharing and congrats that is a ton of success, @Eric BilderbackLike all investments there is risk to manage.
