Should you hire a property manager or do it yourself with AI tools? Here's an honest comparison so you can make the right call for your situation.
You stay in full control of your properties. Chloe AI gives you the tools — AI inspections, dispute filing prep, legal document automation, tenant screening — to manage everything yourself, at a fraction of the cost.
Best for: Hands-on landlords who want control + AI leverage
You hand over day-to-day operations to a management company. They handle tenant relations, maintenance, rent collection, and filings — but charge 8–12% of monthly rent and make decisions on your behalf.
Best for: Landlords who want zero day-to-day involvement
