Rental property stress is eating my time and I’m not sure what “good management” looks like
I’ve got a rental that should be simple, but it keeps turning into late rent, surprise repairs, and constant back-and-forth with tenants. I’m considering hiring a manager, yet I’m worried about hidden fees, poor communication, and losing control of decisions. How do you vet options and set expectations so it actually reduces stress?

One thing that helped me was writing a “non-negotiables” list (response times, repair approval limits, reporting schedule). Then I compared managers against it, not their sales pitch. I found it easier to sort options after browsing Property Management Rentals https://propertymanagement.rentals/ and using the list as a filter. Share your must-haves if you want feedback.
