Although there are several benefits from hiring a rental property manager, there is also a cost associated with employing a rental property manager. In addition to the cost of rental property management, there are other reasons why rental property management might not be for every landlord. Weigh the following factors to decide if employing a property management company would be the best choice for your property. Ask yourself these questions:

Will you live and work close to your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Pentagon City is a very transient area. 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 property management? Some landlords look forward to the chore of identifying good tenants. Some property owners find that maintaining a property and managing handymen is pleasurable. Thus, they enjoy fielding late night calls. But, if you don't want another job, you might not want the duties of managing your own property. If, you don't want the work from the day-to-day tasks, you would be smart to consider employing a rental property manager to manage your rental property.
Do you want to fight with your tenants? If you have renters, eventually you will have to deal with disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find fight with your renters is pleasant. In addition, if you're not a professional rental property manager, you can get into trouble in a hurry if you don't understand tenant's right. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you need is extra worries. Accordingly, employing a property management company might be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a 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 likely 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 hire a property manager.
Can you afford the risk? Do you understand the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act? Do you know the tenant's rights? Do you understand your responsibilities? The more you understand rental management in today's litigious culture the more you'll know the value of hiring an experience manager on your side.
Do you have access to a network of maintenance people? Every rental property needs upkeep. If your renter contacts for repairs will you know who to call and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's responsibility and which repairs are a renter responsibility. If not, you might want to think about hiring a property management company.
