There are people that enjoy working on their properties and are better suited for self managing and should be self managing.I would say to get a manger if you are purely doing it for the cost savings and find additional investments.A part time employee could be a good solution since you know your properties. 

I can honestly say I enjoy my job and don't plan on leaving it in the near future so this will be a side/retirement income generator for the time being but I'm all about opportunity so if I end up having a knack for this I can definitely see pursuing it more aggressively.I guess I'm reaching out to try and get in touch with investors in my area.

I have enjoyed the uniqueness of the mixed use property and is a lot of what makes this project thrilling.

I tried it, but didn't enjoy living in such a small unit.

Enjoy, I hope you can find use from it.I am looking at two properties right now,  Rent as % of Basis  2.63% and 2.62% Net Income as % of Basis 1.54% and 1.45%

I'm about 3 hours in and so far I have enjoyed it, since I am looking to buy my first investment property with a business partner.Good to see other people in Virginia!

Most folks mindlessly buy into the standard mantra of cash flow is king and appreciation is gambling, and in so doing they ignore some very important aspects and get tunnel vision, which not only causes them to miss some profitable opportunities but also ignore some factors that may hurt them long term.

I enjoy the different perspectives as even my own thoughts on this continue to evolve. 

I have enjoyed my 15 years of buy and hold investing in Fresno
