But, that has a massive downside.
Dealing with non-professionals.
Who are very likely to have a significant portion of their net worth tied up in the place you are living, not have longstanding relationships with trades like plumbing, roof repair, and appliance vendors, and feel entitled to be up in your business.
Not that properties managed by professional management companies don't have downsides.
