The Accidental Landlord Playbook: When to Hire a Property Manager
About this episode
This episode discusses the decision-making process for accidental landlords on whether to manage their rental property themselves or hire a property manager.
Renting out your personal home can turn you into a landlord overnight. But once the lease is signed, the big question quickly follows: should you manage the property yourself, or hire a property manager? In Part 3 of The Accidental Landlord Playbook, we break down the real decision accidental landlords face when turning their former home into a rental. Managing a property yourself can save money—but it also means handling leasing, maintenance calls, late rent, legal compliance, and everything in between. In this episode, we walk through the factors that should guide your decision, including the time commitment, risks, and when professional property management actually makes sense. If you’re renting out your personal residence for the first time, this conversation will help you decide which path is right for you.
