Managing your own Decatur investment property is often difficult, especially if you need time for a demanding full-time job, a busy family life, and want some precious down time.
Those annoying tenant requests always seem to come at critical times – just when you are leaving for vacation or an important business trip.
You may have inherited a family home or become a new Decatur investor. Your Decatur home may need repairs or updates – someone will need to meet the workmen.
When your property is ready, you will need to advertise for new tenants – someone will need to screen them carefully by requiring credit, background, criminal checks, employment and more.
- How will you market your home for tenants?
- Who will prepare the Lease?
- Who will hold the Security Deposit?
- How will the rent be collected?
- Who will answer the midnight calls from tenants?
- Who will you use for handymen, electricians, plumbers, etc?

- What records and reports will you keep?
