While you will find significant advantages from hiring a property management company, there is also an associated expense with hiring a property manager. In addition to the fees of property management, there are other reasons why rental management may not be for you. Weigh the following questions to decide whether hiring a property manager would be the right decision for your rental property. Factors to consider:

• Do you reside and work close to your property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent West Springfield 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 rental property management? Some landlords relish the challenge of identifying good tenants. Some landlords find that dispatching handymen and managing details is fun. Hence, they get a kick out of fielding early morning calls. On the other hand, if you don't need another job, you may not want the duties of managing your own investment. If, you don't need the work from the day-to-day tasks, you are smart to think about employing a property management company to handle your investment.
• Do you want to fight with your renters? If you have renters, sooner or later you will have disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find dealing with your tenants is pleasant. More importantly, if you're not a full-time property manager, you can get into trouble quickly if you don't understand the law. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you want is extra worries. Accordingly, employing a property management company may be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
• Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property manager is much more attractive choice if you can afford it.  If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll likely save money by employing 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 responsibilities?  The more you understand rental property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of paying an experience manager on your side.
• Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every rental property needs repairs. If your tenant talk tos for maintenance 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 renter responsibility. If not, you might want to think about hiring a property manager.
