Just be careful who you choose. You are better off hiring someone with a background in property management, yet it is not required to have a real estate licence for this person.Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:43:26 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Palo_Alto_CA-241579/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Palo_Alto_CA-241579/California law says "over 16 units".Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:36:18 -0800
