    My issue is vendors. Management companies, can not be trusted to find you the best deal when it comes to repairs.
  • Hey Tyler, so great to see you on video. As a past tenant, I'll just say Tyler is incredibly truthful and helpful. He is who you see in this video. I do miss Long Beach. I wish you continued success Tyler!

    Great discussion! Thanks guys!

    I have a management company and pretty much every month i see new charges in portal. Ive asked them prior to charging us anymore to discuss it with us, but they don't. Today i woke up to them charging 450 for a ceiling fan i didn't authorize or get to choose. Is there anything i can do on owner side so at least it's not a monthly thing because I'm considering switching and i truly don't even know if I'm allowed to.
  • May I ask which jobs can one change after working as a senior property manager or officer with professional qualification for 20 years please?

    So true that property managers tend to have poor reviews more because of tenants than owners. I'm sure having a good property manager goes a long way in keeping tenants though, so do you have suggestions for finding a good property management company? What are your thoughts on using software even if you have a small portfolio?

    Late fees does the property manager receive the late fees or the owner? Thanks

    Repairs is probably the bigger downside of property managers, they hire anyone hey want and not necessarily the best deal for the owners. And they don’t exactly advocate how the repair came to be needed in the first place when not all of them are due to wear. 🤨
