I would prefer to self manage to avoid the high poperty management fees (I think its around 10% + 1 month leasing fee, etc.) and I also worry that the property manager will likely not be as dilligent in finding high quality affordable vendors, etc.I see 4 major pieces of work1) Tenant finding: I feel comfortable doing this remotely.

One of which is owned free-and-clear.

Jumping into new construction without having a decent feel for it is a big take.

I am assuming free estimates only apply to properties you already own.   

Or they may decide to move in and live for free for a while.

Feel really strongly about this number, as the house next door sold for 175k 6 weeks ago.

For those of you who do, are you happy with your current management, and if so, what are the main things you feel they do to create value for you? 

In a way it feels like the City is making it more difficult for landlords to hang around because yearly inspections with a laundry list of repairs makes it real difficult to cash flow when my cash flow is just being held for the future, inevitable inspection.My opinion/thoughts.

Either way feel free to send me a DM and I can help take a look at some options for you.

I feel like real estate is the right tool to reach that goal.Thank you all for reading and I hope we can connect soon!
