I hate my rental house

[Irving]

We had a property manager, but he was more the guy that tenants called for minor repairs and lock-outs. He would contact us with anything big. He didn't find tenants and was certainly not responsible if someone trashed their unit. We didn't have a full service management company that took a cut of the rents though, we just paid him per door, per month. I'm probably not the best to answer that question, sorry.

Property managers are worthless. I had one and all he did was take a cut. He even tried to charge me a finders fee on the new tenants after the ones he found had to be evicted after 3 months. He was only in it for himself. He was pretty much free and clear of any liability on it all too. Who had to pay the unpaid water bill left by the tenants he found? Me. As property owner, it all comes back to you. You might be able to find a different manager that would be willing to accept liability but my guess is most of them operate "hands off" for most scenarios. They're more of a secretary for you.

I've found management companies to be worthless money sucks as well. I went to self managing my property.

Property damage sucks, but happens. In the long run, I've found the long term financial benefits out way the headaches along the way as long as your not over leveraging and risking too much.

$275 to epoxy coat tub and tile to look new. $200 for a new toilet... I wouldn't even bother cleaning it if it were mine. But I like to replace the toilets anyway so I reduce after hours plumbing emergencies.

Yeah I suppose you never know what got flushed down there and is just sitting there in the trap to clog up another day.
