Experience peace of mind by using a property management firm working in Alexandria

Although an invester will enjoy several advantages from hiring a rental property manager, there is also an associated expense with hiring a property management company. In addition to the costs of rental management, there are other reasons why rental property management might not be for you. Weigh the following factors to determine whether hiring a property management company would be a good choice for your investment. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you live and work not far from your property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Alexandria is a very transient community. Northern Virginia has more than our share of military, diplomats, State Department, political appointees and academia.  If you're getting transferred across the country or around the world, it might be a good idea to let a professional manage your rental. Even simple tasks can get complicated very quickly when you aren't around to manage the details.
• Do you want to handle the details of rental management? Some landlords relish the chore of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some real estate investors believe that keeping up with maintenance and managing handymen is fun. For this reason, they enjoy taking late night calls. But, if you don't want more work, you may not want the chores of managing your own property. If, you want little or nothing to do with the routine management of your properties, you should probably think about employing a rental property manager to help to manage your investment.
• Do you want to wrestle your renters? If you have tenants, eventually you will have to deal with disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find managing your tenants is fun. In addition, if you're not a full-time property manager, you can get in deep trouble in a hurry if you don't understand landlord obligations. If you've already got your hands full, then the last thing you need is more to worry about. For this reason, hiring a property manager may be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
• Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a property management company is much more attractive choice if you can afford it.  If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably save money by hiring a rental property manager and writing off the expense.  But if at the end of every month cash is tight, you might not want to hire a rental property manager.
• Can you afford the risk? Do you understand the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act? Do you know the tenant's rights? Do you know your duties?  The more you understand property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the benefit of hiring a professional in your corner.
• Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every rental property needs maintenance. When your tenant contacts in need of property upkeep will you know who to hire and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's expense and which repairs are a tenant responsibility. If not, you might want to consider hiring a rental property manager.
