It's easy to buy a $20-$40k property in this area but it's difficult to get and maintain the good tenants. 

Side note, the little plastic spacers make the job go much faster by maintaining proper and uniform spacing between the tile.Good luck and I'm sure the tile will look great

I've already got a Doctorate and many licenses to maintain so the thought of sitting in one more class (even if online) and dealing with another licensing process does not excite me but I'll do what is necessary.

We maintain our own “Property Manager Interview Questions” and if you or anyone else is interested in a copy, send me an email.

In Placencia It is very private, if locals are there they are usually working for the owners and staying in their villas to help maintain property.

If your PM is expensive, but keeps your properties occupied and well maintained... be happy, sleep well and have a great day.

I think my pm has more than paid for himself by his aggressiveness in ensuring my property stays maintained and rented.

There's a happy medium to maintain.

They also don't handle internal maintenance issues, that's the owners responsibility.The similarities are related on maintaining the grounds, coordinating vendors, and accounting services.

It feels better to me to save up $100k here and there and invest it wisely, and maintain my freedom then jump into such a huge commitment.
