Although there are quite a few benefits from hiring a property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a property management company. In addition to the fees of rental property management, there are other reasons why rental management may not be for you. Think about the following questions to determine whether hiring a property manager would be the right option for your rental property. Factors to consider:- Will you reside and work close to your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Fairfax is a very transient area. Northern Virginia has quite a few 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 identifying trustworthy tenants. Some real estate investors find that maintaining a property and managing details is pleasurable. Therefore, they enjoy fielding calls at strange hours. On the other hand, if you don't need another job, you might not want the duties of managing your own investment. When, you want little or nothing to do with the day-to-day tasks, you should probably consider hiring a property management company to manage your property.
- Do you like wrestle your renters? If you have renters, sooner or later you will have problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find dealing with your renters is satisfying. More importantly, if you're not a full-time property manager, you can get in deep trouble quickly if you don't understand landlord obligations. If you've already got your hands full, the last thing you want is extra worries. So, employing a property management company may be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
- Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a rental property manager is much more attractive option if you can afford it. If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll probably save money by hiring a property management company and writing off the expense. But if at the end of every month cash is tight, you might not want to employ a 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 know about rental property management in today's litigious society the more you'll know the benefit of hiring an experience manager in your corner.
- Do you have access to a network of maintenance people? Each rental property requires repairs. If your renter contacts in need of repairs will you know who to hire and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you might want to consider hiring a property manager.
