Although an invester will enjoy many benefits from employing a property management company, there is also an associated expense with employing a property manager. In addition to the costs of rental management, there are other reasons why rental property management may not be for you. Consider the following factors to determine if hiring a rental property manager would be a good choice for your rental property. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you live and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Shirlington is a very transient area. Northern Virginia has plenty 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 relish the chore of finding good tenants. Some property owners find that keeping up with maintenance and managing little tasks is fun. Therefore, they enjoy fielding early morning calls. Still, if you don't need another job, you might not want the chores of managing your own investment. When, you don't want the work from the day-to-day management of your properties, you are smart to think about hiring a property manager to manage your property.
• Do you like manage your tenants? If you have tenants, with out a doubt you will have to deal with problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find wrestling your tenants is pleasant. More importantly, if you're not a full-time property management company, 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 extra hassles. So, employing a property manager might 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 if your cash flow is positive.  If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll probably save money by paying 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 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 understand your duties?  The more you know about rental management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of hiring an experience manager on your side.
• Do you have a list of maintenance people? Each investment needs upkeep. If your renter contacts for property upkeep will you know who to hire and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's expense and which repairs are a renter expense. If not, you should consider employing a rental property manager.
