While there are several advantages from hiring a rental property manager, there is also a cost associated with employing a property management company. In addition to the costs of property management, there are other reasons why rental management may not be for you. Think about the following questions to figure out whether employing a rental property manager would be the right decision for your property. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you live and work near your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Franconia 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 property management? Some landlords enjoy the challenge of identifying reliable tenants. Some property owners find that keeping up with maintenance and managing handymen is fun. For this reason, they enjoy taking calls at strange hours. On the other hand, if you don't need more work, you may not want the duties of managing your own investment. When, you don't need the work from the day-to-day chores, you are smart to think about hiring a rental property manager to handle your property.
• Do you like wrestle your renters? If you have renters, 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 satisfying. In addition, if you're not a trained rental property manager, you can get in a mess quickly if you don't understand landlord-tenant law. If you've already got your hands full, the last thing you want is extra worries. Thus, employing a property manager may be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
• Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a property manager is much more attractive choice if you're not in a cash crunch.  If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll likely save money by paying a 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 property management company.
• 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 property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the benefit of paying an expert on your side.
• Do you have a list of maintenance people? Each rental property must have upkeep. If your tenant contacts in need of property upkeep will you know who to phone and what to do in a prompt manner? 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 hiring a property manager.
