Although you will find several advantages from employing a rental property manager, there is also an associated expense with employing a property manager. In addition to the cost of property management, there are other reasons why rental management might not be for every landlord. Consider the following questions to determine whether employing a property management company would be the best option for you. Ask yourself these questions:
  • Will you live and work close to your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Manassas is a very transient region. Northern Virginia has a lot 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 management? Some landlords relish the chore of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some real estate investors find that keeping up with maintenance and managing workers is fun. Thus, they enjoy taking early morning calls. In contrast, if you don't want more work, you might not want the chores of managing your own property. If, you don't need the work from the day-to-day management of your properties, you would be smart to think about hiring a rental property manager to manage your investment.
  • Do you want to fight with your tenants? 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 wrestling your renters is a joy. More importantly, if you're not a full-time property manager, you can get into trouble in a hurry if you don't understand the law. If you've already got your hands full, the last thing you want is extra worries. Hence, hiring a rental property manager may be a good (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're not in a cash crunch.  If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll probably 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 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 know your duties?  The more you know about rental management in today's litigious culture the more you'll know the benefit of hiring an expert on your side.
  • Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every rental property must have repairs. When your tenant emails for property upkeep will you know who to call and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the landlord's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant responsibility. If not, you should think about employing a property management company.
