Following.

Newer investor here. My PM is managing 1 SFH for me. This is after I ran it as an AirBnB for nearly a year, doing everything myself (management, cleaning, maintenance, etc).

Perhaps the root of your question - I could self-manage, and becomes more valuable to as I scale my portfolio, but for now it's nice to know mostly everything should be taken care of minus the finances.

I’m curious to see if investors with 5 plus properties have a PM. Less than 5 I feel like it’s super easy to manage even with a full time day job.

I have 2 STRs and manage no problem without a PM as I have a reliable cleaner and handyman. However I would agree that 4+ would become challenging if you have a day job.

I have 2 STR overseas, so use a PM who lives there who handles most things, and a handy man who lives there. Since it’s overseas, I would be able ti manage the properties on my own. Would only be feasible if my properties were in the same city as me.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
