Protecting your investment, by carrying out any necessary Meth Screening

As a property manager, you’ve got an important job – you’re the professional connection between tenants and property owners. You are the owner’s representative, but you also have a duty of care to the tenant.

For managed landlords, their second biggest cost will be their property management fees, and for self-managed landlords, it's usually a loss of rent due to poor record keeping or high tenant turnover.

Value in property management is very subjective for each landlord and their property; and is usually a trade-off between spending 7% on a manager or spending time and managing it yourself.
