35. Pick your property manager carefully
A good property manager versus a bad one can be worth thousands a year for only a $300,000 property.
Picking a good property manager usually comes down to researching their policies concerning operation and seeing how many properties they have to manage.
Be prepared to change managers until you find one that provides the level of service you expect. Make sure your property manager feels appreciated to get them onside – they are the closest thing you have to an employee for your ‘property investment business’.
