The below topics are discussed in much more depth on our members' Property Management page.

Property managers are an intrinsic part of the rental housing business, ... but they are often ignored by the get rich quick book and tape offers presented in TV info-commercials. When an investor decides to manage their own property, they quickly learn that the job requires totally different knowledge and skills than the investing aspect of the rental housing business.

Professionals also learn that it is best to have a third party between the property owner and their tenants.> We all tend to develop relationships that become personal, and those between landlords and tenants must be kept on a business basis. One of the things you will learn here is if you manage your own property, you should at least do it through a company name and treat it like the business it must be.
