Hi Everyone.I have a rental property and my property manager has limited experience with the Nebraska Emergency Rental Assistance organization.

But they forced you to use their management company, took 50%, and you couldn’t use the unit more than 2 or 4 weeks per year.

get an eviction attorney or your property manager to handle this.

Does anyone here have any solid property management companies you work with or recommendations on how to vet them when interviewing them? 

I approximated 7% for property management, 10% for maintenence, and 0% for CapEx.

I would completely agree with the idea of putting at least some of the funds in an interest bearing account if you were self managing and not a licensed agent. 

I would equate it to managing yourself when you are not set up to manage properties.There is scalability in this...Now to play the Devils advocate if you get autopayments set-up you can always figure out how much interest was paid each year and what your payoff is so just decide how competent you are in that and be honest with yourself, there is nothing wrong in outsourcing parts of your business.

Hello, I have a few rental properties and I am looking for a program that tells me the overall performance once I input income and expenses. What are you currently using to see the overall picture?  Thanks!

I do not have a PM, but actively manage my STR. 

The key for me was having the right teams in place (realtor/lender/property manager) to help me find / fund and stabilize the properties.
