Those who understood the underlying technology and value in companies made money.I am just saying that to read only the headline news and to believe the generalities of a few articles is akin to "the sky is falling" mentality of the ".com" bust. 

Therefore, whether you choose to hire a property management company or manage the property yourself, I encourage you to invest time in understanding landlord-tenant laws, local regulations, and best practices in property management.Remember, prioritizing tenant safety, conducting regular property inspections, and promptly addressing maintenance issues are key factors in maintaining a positive rental experience.Good luck & happy investing!
