I have several properties all managed by managers. Two managers have provided a good service, another so so, and one let me down big time. None is in soCal where I struggled to find property managers. I learnt my lesson which is you need to manage your property managers. Apart from that you can get on with your life and pay someone else to do the dirty work. For just one property and on my doorstep I’d ask an agent to find a tenant and manage it myself.
