[Evans, Marv]

For one property or a small number of properties locally, I can't see any reason for a property manager. I started with property management and soon decided I didn't need it since it insulated me from the tenants and I could do the maintenance/repairs myself and was perfectly capable of contracting out the larger things. If their behavior is breaking some kind of HOA rules, I'd let them know. I imagine that defines breaking the terms of the lease too. If we were talking about multiple properties out of state or something, property management might be the best option.
