Investing in real estate can be a great way to build wealth and generate passive income. However, managing a property can be a daunting task, especially for first-time investors. This is where property management comes in.
Property Management is the practice of overseeing and managing a real estate property. It involves a range of tasks such as property maintenance, tenant screening and management, rent collection, lease preparation and enforcement, and handling of maintenance requests.
Responsibilities of a Property Manager

Maintenance and Repairs:
Property Managers handle all maintenance and repair requests from tenants. They also ensure that the property is well-maintained and in good condition. This helps to attract and retain tenants and can increase the value of the property over time.
Maintenance in buildings/estates include:
• Cleaning surfaces such as gutters, handrails, windows, floors, and bathrooms.
• Undertaking repairs on assets such as elevators and HVACs (Heaters, Ventilators and Air Conditioners).
• Maintaining utility systems such as plumbing and electrical services.
• Ensuring the doors, roofs, walls, and windows are in excellent condition.
• Maintenance of roads, drainages and all common utilities within the estate
