Although there are several benefits from employing a property manager, there is also an associated expense with hiring a rental property manager. In addition to the cost of rental management, there are other reasons why rental property management may not be for you. Weigh the following factors to determine if employing a property manager would be a good decision for you. Ask yourself these questions:
  • Do you reside and work near your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Del Ray is a very transient region. Northern Virginia has a lot 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 property management? Some landlords look forward to the task of identifying reliable tenants. Some real estate investors find that managing maintence and managing handymen is fun. Thus, they have fun taking calls at strange hours. But, if you don't need more work, you might not want the work of managing your own rental property. When, you want little or nothing to do with the routine tasks, you would be smart to think about employing a rental property manager to help to manage your investment.
  • Do you want to wrestle your tenants? If you have renters, eventually you will have disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find wrestling your tenants is a joy. In addition, if you're not a professional property manager, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't understand the law. If you've already got your hands full, the last thing you want is more to worry about. So, hiring a property manager might be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
  • Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property management company is much more attractive choice if you can afford it.  If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll likely save money by employing 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 pay 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 responsibilities?  The more you understand rental management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of paying an experience manager on your side.
  • Do you have maintenance people? Every property must have maintenance. When your renter contacts for repairs will you know who to hire and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's responsibility and which repairs are a renter responsibility. If not, you might want to consider employing a property manager.
