Investors with full time jobs. How do you do it while maintaining a separate 9-5pm? Specifically investors who own 5-20 rentals since that’s the predicament I’m in. I do not want to hire a management company. How is your schedule like? Is a management company the only way to go?

I have a handy man and a plumber that I call. Takes me 30 min per issue. Just interface with the tenant to make sure the timing works.

Also things generally don't break at my properties. Maybe you're having bad work done?

Every couple of months there’s a new vacancy which can take up to 10-20 hours to re rent. Notices to cease, rental arrears and late payments, dealing with contractors and violations from city, accounting and bill payments etc.

To add to this, my spouse got her real estate license. Between managing rentals and doing showings for a friend (and she gets referral clients), she hits 800 hours. This frees a lot of PALS helping us.

I think having a management company is worth it after a certain number of rentals. You need to value your time. For example, use that time to find new deals/increasing your portfolio instead of dealing with tenants.

Are you based in New York?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
