It depends on your time, proximity, and number of properties. Self-management saves the management fee (typically 8–10% of rent) but requires you to handle tenant calls, maintenance coordination, rent collection, and legal compliance. As your portfolio grows past 2–3 units, the time investment usually exceeds the management fee savings. Our property management service handles everything from day one.

A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains taxes when you sell an investment property and reinvest the proceeds into a like-kind replacement property. Strict timelines apply: 45 days to identify replacement properties and 180 days to close. We coordinate with qualified intermediaries and help you identify replacement properties that improve your portfolio's cash flow and appreciation potential.
