It is Hard Being a Landlord

Since we built our new home last November we are renting out our first home. Last week the cooler went out at the rented house so Corvette had to go and attempt to fix it. Before moving into our new house we lived at the former house for over twenty years so Corvette new pretty well how to fix things. Well it did not work this time and he is done with climbing the roof. After all, we are not so young anymore and it is dangerous for him to climb roofs.


Well after figuring out what was wrong Corvette decided to hire someone to fix the cooler. This got me thinking about just finding a property management company to take over the repairs and whatever other issues come up with the house. This would take the pressure off of us and we would not have to worry about any future problems that might occur. Hopefully we will be able to sell the house, but of course the market is not good right now, so we have to wait.

I looked into property management and found Real Property Management online. They are a full service management company that can help single property owners like us or multiple unit owners. They also are the recipients of awards in their field like "Franchise of the Year Honorable Mention" award. They have also been mention in Midwest Bizjournal of Cincinnati and Columbus.

Real Property Management is currently managing over 20,000 units all over the country. They are also a member of the National Association of Residential Property Managers. Real Property Management signed with Freddie Mac to manage the new REO Rental Initiative.

I think this a great solution for landlords. If you are like Corvette and me, look into property management. It is just one way to make life a little easier.
