Managing contractors is a nightmare!

Educate yourself as much as possible and then prepare yourself to pull the trigger when a deal pops up.I'm a local Jacksonville Broker and property manager, happy to help any way possible.  

Hello everyone, anyone I have spoke to about REI in my personal life all tell me the same thing: don’t get into real estateThey are all people who have had properties themselves, have tried to rent them out and have told me horror stories of tenants and how repair costs or costs to property managers make it disadvantageous to earn profit or scaleI’m trying to invest with my spouse who is also included in these conversations.

Reviewing data from different sources (check around BP to find those resources) is a good step in the process but I believe that speaking to other investors, realtors, rental managers and other local people is the best way to find out where to invest and where not to invest.  

If you’re confident they aren’t presenting your offers, I would go directly to the broker, regional manager, whoever is responsible to the agent, and lodge your complaint.

I’ve been using a freelance property manager who insists that the tenants are not coming because the “market is slow from now until the spring”.

I also prefer real estate over stocks, even though I manage the property myself.

*This question is for any property manager or people with prior property management experience*What would you say are the biggest issues that reoccur when dealing with tenants, vendors, etc?

I am looking for a great property manager for an apartment complex there.

The best software I’ve found for managing tenants are Apartments.com (formerly COZY) or Rentredi.
