If the partner moves out of state next year they are still a 10% owner, but you simply hire another property manager for that same 8-10%.

Call the mechanic or gas station up the street and ask the owners if they know someone.

@Venka Pulla Many smaller PMCs are unprofessional, they can also be vindictive.So, suggest you get all the info you can from your Owner Portal before terminating them.Also, hire a new PMC BEFORE terminating the current PMC.Then, terminate and work closely with the new PMC to get tenant payments switched over and whatever documentation is missing.Hopefully, you'll screen for a new PMC better than you did to pick the current one!

Some companies allow property owners to select tenants and set the screening criteria...We do not - our criteria does not bend. 

I bet that essentially no one is starting new construction projects, which bodes extremely well for owners 2-4 years from now.- Prices for insurance policies will never go back down, but it is not unreasonable to expect costs to rise at a more predictable pace from here.

It can depend on the property, but owner paying the bills seems rare these days. 

In 1997, I don't fully understand why, the City of Denver paid the golf course owners $2mil to rezone this parcel as a "conservation easement" this was extremely restrictive zoning and meant it would essentially be destined to be a golf course for eternity 3.

If you are able to manage it yourself, I think you will get a lot of very helpful education in real estate by spending a least a year or two doing that.You'll be able to work with property managers a lot better if you've done the work yourself for a bit, and it also helps to get familiar with the various laws and regulations you have to comply with as the owner, even if you do have a property manager in place (e.g., the new RI rental registry and associated lead paint inspections/certificates).It's up to you whether you're able to do it, but I think you'll get a lot out of the experience if you can try it for a year or two.

Or tenants know they are the owner and take advantage of that. 

Unless you believe the owners knew in advance that this model would not work and were doing this to just feather their nest and move on ?
