Managing rental properties comes with a big decision: should you handle everything yourself or hire a property manager?

In this episode, Stacie Casella and Kevin Kilroy share the real pros and cons of self-managing versus outsourcing — from cost savings and control to the realities of late-night calls, legal paperwork, and burnout. Together, they discuss how each option fits different lifestyles, investment goals, and seasons of life.

You’ll hear stories from their own experience managing a Sacramento 6-plex, a long-distance four-plex in Idaho, and everything in between — plus practical tips to help you make the best decision for your business.

Whether you’re a new landlord just starting out or an experienced investor scaling up, this episode will help you confidently decide which management style supports your goals.
