Although you will find several benefits from employing a rental property manager, there is also an associated expense with employing a rental property manager. In addition to the fees of rental management, there are other reasons why rental property management might not be for every landlord. Weigh the following factors to decide if employing a rental property manager would be the right choice for your rental property. Factors to consider:
  • Do you live and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Manassas 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 property management? Some landlords look forward to the chore of finding trustworthy tenants. Some real estate investors believe that managing maintence and managing handymen is rewarding. Therefore, they get a kick out of fielding early morning calls. Above all, if you don't need more work, you might not want the duties of managing your own rental property. If, you want little or nothing to do with the routine management of your properties, you should probably consider hiring a rental property manager to handle your property.
  • Do you like manage your renters? If you have renters, 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 tenants is fun. In addition, if you're not a professional property manager, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't understand landlord-tenant law. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you want is extra worries. For this reason, hiring a property management company might be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
  • Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a property manager is much more attractive option if you can afford it.  If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll likely 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 understand the tenant's rights? Do you understand your duties?  The more you understand property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the value of having an experience manager on your side.
  • Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every rental property needs upkeep. If your tenant contacts in need of maintenance will you know who to phone 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 may want to move toward employing a property management company.
