Owners that hire a Property Manager usually have managed their property

themselves and have decided that they have had enough.

In many cases, the tenants know where the owner lives or has their

phone number for emergencies. After a property manager takes over the

management and the tenants usually do not like the new procedures, they

will call the owner to complain. It reminds me of when raising my children (I

raised six) if they could not get their way with Dad they would appeal to Mom and vice versa. The divide and conquer routine.

We as owners not to cave in after they instructed us to enforce certain

rules. This creates a paper tiger, loss of control and makes our job very

Difficult. Probably impossible.

The proper way is let us doing the dirty work and be the buffer between you and the tenant.

It becomes easier to manage because they know we can’t be lobbied or persuaded.

I hope this information has been of help to you in the understanding this

rental business.
