So you wanna be a landlord and self-manage your rental? 😏
Here’s 1 week in the life of a Property Manager. Happy FRIYAY…
✔️ Accounting glitch = angry owner + payment investigation
✔️ Security deposit dispute over weeds, mulch & bathroom shelves
✔️ Reminded a contractor that the email he received 7 days ago does, in fact, count as notification
✔️ Navigated a kitchen renovation the tenant requested… until construction started constructing 😂
✔️ Researched insurance requirements so a tenant can benefit from the home’s solar panels
✔️ Mediated enough owner, tenant & vendor conversations to earn an honorary degree in conflict resolution
And that was just THIS week.
Self-managing isn’t just collecting rent. Some weeks you’re an accountant, private investigator, mediator, maintenance coordinator, insurance researcher and professional email translator — all before lunch. 😂
Property Management: where you never know what you’ll become an expert in by 5 PM.
