Episode 40: 50+ Must Ask Questions When Hiring a Property Manager, Part 2
Listen On:
Who is better to give you questions to ask a property manager than a professional property manager!
This is part 2 of last week’s episode we discuss over 50 questions to ask when you are interviewing a new property manager to take over your rental properties. If you have not had a chance to listen to part one, STOP. Go back and listen to Episode 39 before continuing to this one.
In this episode we go over questions that pertain to:
- Leases
- Tenant screening
- Maintenance and inspections
- Move-in/move-out procedures, including marketing and renewals!
- Evictions
- Tenant communication
We not only give you the questions to ask, but we also discuss WHY they are important to you as a rental property owner. This is key because each of you has different aspects of property management that are important to you. So now you can decide how much weight to give the question based on its significance to your success.
I don’t know about you, but one way I learn best is hearing stories of what others did right or wrong to help me understand its importance. So, we make sure to share personal stories of not only how we manage our own properties, but how we manage properties for others and several issues we have found while using a property manager for our out of state property.
A LOT of good stuff in the episode! Part 2 will drop in a few days just so you don’t have to wait a whole week and lose your momentum on the questions.
BONUS! We created a Property Manager Questionnaire of all the questions we suggest you ask so you can just blast it out in an email or use it as a reference if interviewing a property manager in person! Download it FREE until December 31st, 2023, before we begin charging a nominal fee!
