Do you need a property manager in Woodbridge?

While there are significant advantages from hiring a rental property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a property management company. In addition to the cost of rental management, there are other reasons why rental property management might not be for you. Consider the following questions to decide whether employing a property management company would be the right decision for your rental property. Factors to consider:

• Do you reside and work close to your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Woodbridge 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 property management? Some landlords enjoy the challenge of identifying good tenants. Some real estate investors find that dispatching handymen and managing workers is rewarding. For this reason, they like fielding early morning calls. In contrast, if you don't need another job, you might not want the work of managing your own rental property. If, you don't need the work from the routine management of your properties, you would be smart to think about hiring a property management company to help to manage your rental property.
• Do you like deal with your tenants? If you have tenants, eventually you will have problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find arguing with your tenants is fun. In addition, if you're not a full-time property management company, you can get into trouble quickly if you don't understand local regulations. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you need is more to worry about. For this reason, employing a property management company may 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 option if you're not in a cash crunch.  If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably save money by employing 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 hire a property management company.
• 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 management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the value of paying a professional in your corner.
• Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every investment needs maintenance. If your renter contacts for maintenance will you know who to phone and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's expense and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you may want to consider hiring a property manager.
