We just got rid of our tenants and spent the last week getting it ready for sale.  Tomorrow is the big day.  Yes, we did manage it ourselves.

No longer. Self managed and managed properties for others, but tired of my telephone always ringing with stupid complaints.

Yes. All of them excluisively 'Lease Option' or 'Rent to Own.'  Amazingly, I've never sold one.

at one time, in my younger years, I had 23 units and managed everything myself.... I collected the rents and emptied the coin op machines....never had to take anyone to court....of course, the laws were different then!!! forget about tenant rights!!! now I have my home and one other single family home that family lives in.... I'll eventually deed it to that family member....

We have sold our rental properties but did manage them ourselves.

Actually,  we had a good size property management operation for many years until we sold the business to a regional company.

Yes and yes. however i have sold most of them. These days everyone is against landlords and from taxes to section 8, it does not pay to invest in some types of real estate anymore.

Yes ... and yes, Debbie.  The majority of the time, I've had no issues.  Upkeep is time demanding at times.  But luckily the number of renter issues has been minor ...

Quite a bit and yes we manage them ourselves. However, since we do mainly investment property we use our property managers to qualify the renters at a $40 non-refundable charge.
