While you will find quite a few advantages from employing a property manager, there is also a cost associated with employing a property management company. In addition to the cost of property management, there are other reasons why property management may not be for every landlord. Consider the following questions to decide whether hiring a property manager would be the right option for you. Factors to consider:

• Will you reside and work close to your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Washington is a very transient region. Northern Virginia has plenty 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 enjoy the challenge of finding reliable tenants. Some real estate investors believe that maintaining a property and managing cleaners is fun. So, they get a kick out of taking late night calls. On the other hand, if you don't want more work, you might not want the chores of managing your own rental property. When, you don't need the work from the routine tasks, you would be smart to consider employing a property manager to help to manage your rental property.
• Do you want to deal with your renters? If you have tenants, eventually 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 pleasant. More importantly, if you're not a trained rental property manager, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't know landlord obligations. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you need is extra hassles. Therefore, hiring a property manager may be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
• Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a rental property manager is much more attractive choice if if your cash flow is positive.  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 hire a property management company.
• 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 property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the benefit of hiring an experience manager on your side.
• Do you have access to a network of maintenance people? Each rental property needs upkeep. When your renter contacts 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 expense and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you may want to consider employing a rental property manager.
