What is property management? Why not collect the rent yourself??

"What am I paying them for?....it can't be that hard...can it??"

Quizzed my friend from across the other side of the table.

" I mean you just get the rent.... What do they actually do? "

My friend was quizzing me about the requirement of him needing a property manager for his upcoming investment property purchase as we enjoyed a couple of beers at Willie the Boatman, one of the many fine craft breweries in Sydney.  

I smiled at him, "That will make a great subject on the podcast, I know just the guy to ask" 

"Yerrr, that's a brilliant idea" he said enthusiastically, "I can't be the only person to ask the question? "

I stood up, finished the last bit of my Albo ale, gave my mate a hug goodbye and started walking out.

"hey..." he shouted at me "so are you going tell me the bloody answer ?"

I smiled back at him, "Of course I am.....you'll have to tune into the podcast"

Cheers

Thanks this week to Callum Thompson the Head of Property Management at Motion Property in Melbourne.
