Self-manage vs. full-service management
Not everyone should self-manage—but if you want control and savings, here’s the trade-off.
With full-service management
- Monthly fees reduce your net income
- Less visibility into tenant and vendor decisions
- Communication lag can be frustrating
- Systems vary by manager quality
With Owner Managed Property
- You keep more income by avoiding recurring management fees
- Clear, repeatable workflows you control
- Better documentation and fewer “winging it” decisions
- Support and templates so you’re not starting from scratch
FAQ
Common questions from owners considering self-management.
Is self-managing worth it?
If you’re organized and willing to follow a repeatable process, self-managing can save meaningful money and give you direct control. The key is having good systems for leasing, maintenance, and records.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. We provide general education, templates, and workflows. For legal questions or local requirements, consult a qualified attorney or local housing professional.
What types of properties do you support?
Most workflows fit single-family rentals, small multifamily, and condos/townhomes. The principles are the same: screening, documentation, communication, and consistent maintenance.
Can I switch back to a property manager later?
Yes. Many owners self-manage for a period, then hire out later. Strong documentation makes that transition easier.
