Although an invester will enjoy quite a few benefits from employing a rental property manager, there is also an associated expense with employing a rental property manager. In addition to the costs of rental property management, there are other reasons why rental property management may not be for every landlord. Think about the following questions to figure out if hiring a property management company would be the right choice for your rental property. Factors to consider:
  • Will you reside and work near your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Herndon is a very transient region. 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 look forward to the chore of finding good tenants. Some landlords believe that keeping up with maintenance and managing little tasks is pleasurable. So, they like fielding early morning calls. In contrast, if you don't need another job, you might not want the duties of managing your own rental property. If, you don't want the work from the routine tasks, you are smart to consider employing a property management company to manage your property.
  • Do you like wrestle your renters? If you have tenants, sooner or later you will have to deal with problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find dealing with your renters is pleasant. More importantly, if you're not a professional property manager, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't know the law. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you need is extra worries. Accordingly, hiring a property manager might be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
  • Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a rental property manager is much more attractive choice if you can afford it.  If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll likely 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 pay a rental 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 understand rental management in today's litigious culture the more you'll know the value of employing an experience manager in your corner.
  • Do you have maintenance people? Each rental property requires repairs. If your tenant contacts for maintenance will you know who to call and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's expense and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you should consider hiring a property manager.
