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

• Will you reside and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Dale City 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 property management? Some landlords look forward to the task of identifying good tenants. Some real estate investors believe that dispatching handymen and managing cleaners is pleasurable. Thus, they get a kick out of taking late night calls. But even so, if you don't want more work, you may not want the chores of managing your own rental property. If, you don't need the work from the routine chores, you should probably consider employing a property manager to handle your investment.
• Do you want to fight with your renters? If you have renters, 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 tenants is pleasant. More importantly, if you're not a professional rental property manager, you can get in deep trouble in a hurry if you don't know landlord obligations. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you want is more to worry about. Therefore, hiring a property manager may be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
• Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a rental property manager is much more attractive option if you can afford it.  If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll probably save money by hiring a property manager and writing off the expense.  But if at the end of every month cash is tight, you might not want to employ 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 know about property management in today's litigious society the more you'll know the value of hiring a professional on your side.
• Do you have maintenance people? Each rental property must have upkeep. When your tenant reach out tos in need of property upkeep will you know who to call and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's responsibility and which repairs are a renter responsibility. If not, you should think about employing a rental property manager.
