Isn't it great to live in an age of timesaving devices? Technology has brought us fax machines, pagers, cell phones, email and for the ultimate technological "real-time" addict, there's instant messenger! All of these inventions were introduced with one goal in mind... to allow us the capability to perform our daily routine functions more quickly so we'd have more free time to do what we want, rather than have, to do it.

In reality, these devices have made our lives busier. We make cell calls during our commute to and from work so we'll have some spare time after dinner only to find ourselves on the phone at home with still more people. We surf the web in pursuit of our interests, check our email and simultaneously I.M. even more friends and family. In the midst of all this our pagers go off and alert us to some other situation that demands our time and attention. Does this sound all too familiar?

The lack of spare time in our daily lives has given rise to numerous service-oriented companies. You can hire a company to take car of our lawn, clean our house, do your food shopping or pick-up and drop-off your dry cleaning. There's even mobile car wash and oil change companies that come to your home or place of work. There is virtually no service you can't have done provided you're willing to pay a price. Knowing the value of your time versus the value of the service you want is the trick!

At this point you're probably asking yourself, "What does this have to do with owning income producing property?" Well, if you are self-managing your property, the likelihood is that, unless your retired, you are doing so in your "spare" time. It's also probable that you are no longer even aware of all the aspects of self-management that are robbing you of that precious spare time. You've become conditioned to the fact that this is the way it has to be because no one else can possibly manage your investment as well as you can. You're not alone in that thought.
