Anyone own a rental property?

Having this kind of experience in property management (although somwhat limited) was a key factor in deciding to purchase my 23 unit mini-warehose/self storage complex.

My experience so far with the 7 years of residential and 1.5 years commercial has been extremely positive.

I'm good with finance, spreadsheets, taxes and "value" oriented investing and purchaes. Both my wife and I are good at light to medium renovation type repair.

Those things help immensely.

I would NEVER consider hiring a property management company.
