Updated 12-13-2019

When it comes to property management, we realize there are many issues to deal with each day. From making sure tenants pay their rent to go into a property after a tenant leaves and making it look like new, there are plenty of issues that can make property management a time-consuming process. However, thanks to the internet, there is more information than ever available to landlords wanting to know how to make property management as easy and profitable as possible. If you find yourself at a crossroads when it comes to getting the information you need to make sure properties are managed in an effective and efficient manner, here are eight property management blogs we believe every landlord should be reading.
The Bigger Pockets Blog

Whether it’s information on real estate investing, personal finance, marketing strategies, or simply how to be a successful businessperson, The Bigger Pockets Blog has this and much more for your reading pleasure. One of the most common topics on this blog concerns tenant issues and how landlords should handle them, which is key to making a landlord’s job as easy as possible. In addition to this topic, we particularly like the emphasis on real estate investing, since a smart real estate pro is always on the lookout for the next great tip that will help them land a new property for their portfolio.

And along with its great articles, we also like its other features as well. For example, if you want to connect to other landlords or investors in your area, you can go to the Network section, where you can search from a member base of well over 1 million people. Along with this, you can also find real estate events in your area, search for local reputable contractors, browse videos and sign up for webinars, and even visit the blog’s store to purchase books on various real estate topics.

Filled with informative articles, we found Real Property Management to be one of the most professional blogs we’ve encountered regarding property management. Along with the usual topics about property management, we like the fact that this blog covered topics that aren’t often discussed on other blogs, such as emergency preparedness, illegal rentals, and enforcing a lease on such issues as over-occupancy and unauthorized pets. In addition, this site also has a Landlord Center that offers such sections as Tips, Tricks, and FAQs, a Do-It-Yourself Landlord Guide, and a Landlord Calculator.

A site filled with useful information, Real Property Management has received many awards and other forms of recognition for its emphasis on giving landlords the latest information on many of today’s most relevant topics.

One of the more interesting blogs we’ve visited recently, Multifamily Executive provides landlords with articles on many topics in business and finance. However, it also delves into other topics that are very important to modern property management, such as design and development, technology, and demographics regarding renting trends. Emphasizing how current industry trends lead to constant changes in property management, this blog offers information we think any landlord in today’s competitive real estate world needs to know. Whether it’s reading an article about the latest trends in student housing, how to prepare in the event your properties are located near wildfires, or how to make it as easy as possible to obtain construction permits, Multifamily Executive is one website we think will only grow in popularity in the years ahead.

If you want a website where you can submit a question you’ve got about a particular property management issue and get answers from people all over the world, Reddit is for you. While we love the format and the diversity this blog offers, we also like the honesty that comes through in the answers people submit. In addition to this, we noticed people on this blog are determined to be as helpful as possible in answering even the toughest and most unusual questions. For example, we noticed some people submitting questions and concerns about the possibility they may leave the field due to feeling overwhelmed. In most instances, the answers they received were very positive and upbeat, yet still very realistic. No matter where you are located or what issues you need help with, Reddit looks like a site we think landlords can turn to time and time again to get the answers they seek.
