Should you be doing your own property management?
It’s one of those evergreen questions, and Steve and I’ve been hearing it pretty regularly over the years. The idea behind it is very appealing… At least in theory.
And the reasoning is simple – If you do the work yourself, you won’t need to hire anyone to do it for you. Your expenses go down significantly each month, and you save quite a few bucks in the process.
Sounds good on paper, but there’s still a lot of stuff hiding underneath the surface…
Can it be done? Sure, you definitely CAN do your own property management. But is it really the right move for your income replacement journey?

We’ll take a closer look at the day-to-day responsibilities that come with the role, lay out the advantages and the disadvantages, and hopefully, help you decide what works best for YOU.
Let’s dive in!
