While there are several benefits from hiring a property management company, there is also a cost associated with employing a property management company. In addition to the cost of property management, there are other reasons why property management might not be for every landlord. Weigh the following questions to figure out whether hiring a property manager would be a good decision for your rental property. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you reside and work near your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Crystal City 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 enjoy the challenge of identifying reliable tenants. Some real estate investors think that keeping up with maintenance and managing handymen is pleasurable. So, they get a kick out of taking late night calls. Nevertheless, if you don't want more work, you may not want the work of managing your own rental property. When, you want little or nothing to do with the routine chores, you would be smart to think about hiring a rental property manager to handle your investment.
• Do you want to manage your renters? If you have renters, with out a doubt you will have problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find managing your tenants is satisfying. More importantly, if you're not a trained rental property manager, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't understand local regulations. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you need is more to worry about. Thus, employing a property manager might be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
• Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property management company is much more attractive option if you're not in a cash crunch.  If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably save money by hiring a 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 property manager.
• Can you afford the risk? Do you understand the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act? Do you understand the tenant's rights? Do you know your responsibilities?  The more you know about property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of paying a professional in your corner.
• Do you have access to a network of maintenance people? Each rental property needs maintenance. When your tenant talk tos in need of property upkeep will you know who to call and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the landlord's expense and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you should move toward hiring a rental property manager.
