@Nick Anderson This is an great example of where the saying "Hire your weakness's" is specifically meant for.

I am also a massive fan of Tony Robbins and have hired a personal life coach through him that I have had for over 3 years.

If you do not own in your own personal name, you will have to hire an attorney.

You don't want to be in that boat.My city just hired a 3rd party company to enforce the rules.

Based on the comments, it seems like knowing how to hire right and bring in a strong team is one of the key pieces to getting all the areas you mentioned taken care of effectively.

Or you can hire a local plumber or a handyman. 

We can afford to hire it out.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

What kept me from buying my first property earlier was that for me… the more I educated myself, the more I realized that there are a lot of factors that you need to consider IF you want to execute a-z process yourself (looking for properties yourself, hiring an agent, finding contractors, rehabbing, etc.).

It's usually 2 year orders here, and I was thinking about hiring a property management company to look after things while I'm out in the Texas market?
