Real EstateProperty Management3MediumOwner$ implied

A first-time landlord in Ontario is unsure whether to self-manage his rental property or hire a property manager, primarily due to lack of knowledge about required legal paperwork and tenant screening.

Existing property management services are expensive and may not be cost-effective for a single property, while self-management requires learning complex legal forms and processes.
