To save those costs, you might want to stick to some year build and older, for example, if you cannot do inspections on the properties that you are buying due to off-market deals or something else that is hindering you (all sellers I buy from do not want anyone in the home till we close).

Property management is not for the faint of heart, so glad to see you're enjoying it and thriving.

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.

I currently self-manage three properties in the Atlanta metro area and have learned a ton through trial and error over the years.

Staying involved in a business partnership while dissolving the marriage will rarely work.If you split the properties, I recommend hiring a good property manager.

When a PM does charge a markup, he's usually getting a discount on the service to keep the cost stable.

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.
