## What do you think? Question:

I am wondering about the decision to self-manage versus hire a property manager for our [condo association](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx). Is there a certain size association that self-management does not make sense? My experience is that smaller properties (3-10 units) can self-manage no problem and hiring a property manager is not necessary. I have also see much larger associations (~100+ units) that I would expect to hire a [property manager](https://www.condoassociation.com/property-managers/tabid/96982/Default.aspx). I am interested to hear others perspective and experience on the matter.
