Hiring a property manager

When investing in real estate and dealing with tenants, one of the key elements is property management.

I find the tasks that pertain to property management fall under 2 main categories:
1. taking care of the building,
2. attending to the tenants' needs.

I am in the process of hiring a property manager and am attaching below the questions I will be asking them during the interview process, as I put them together using Google Forms.

The other element I find important is that property manager be present when I personally deal with tenants so they understand my own personal style.

In terms of leadership, it is then essential to let them a great deal of autonomy and let them make suggestions as to how they would see the problems solved.
