5 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE HIRING A PROPERTY MANAGER!
- Property managers need to have rental properties before they can be hired. Learn from my experience – starting off with four other people who made more money than me wasn’t a great call!
- Property management companies need to be structured properly in order to make the investor profitable.
- Be careful of ‘Tom, Dick, and Harry’ getting into property management. Real estate agents can call themselves property managers but that doesn’t mean they know what they’re doing.
- Educate yourself as a landlord so you can properly choose the right people to manage your properties.
- Look for a property manager who is responsible and responsive to you as an investor. That’s key to having successful rental properties.
