Enjoy peace of mind by employing a rental property manager serving Alexandria
While an invester will enjoy significant benefits from hiring a rental property manager, there is also an associated expense with hiring a property manager. In addition to the costs of property management, there are other reasons why property management may not be for you. Weigh the following factors to figure out whether hiring a property management company would be the best choice for your investment. Ask yourself these questions:- Will you live and work close to your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Alexandria is a very transient area. 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 rental management? Some landlords look forward to the challenge of finding trustworthy tenants. Some landlords believe that keeping up with maintenance and managing little tasks is pleasurable. Thus, they get a kick out of taking calls at strange hours. Nevertheless, if you don't need more work, you may not want the duties of managing your own rental property. If, you don't need the work from the routine management of your properties, you are smart to consider employing a rental property manager to handle your rental property.
- Do you want to deal with your renters? If you have renters, sooner or later you will have issues. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find managing your renters is pleasant. More importantly, if you're not a trained property management company, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't understand the law. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you want is more to worry about. Thus, hiring a property management company might be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
- Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property management company is much more attractive choice if if your cash flow is positive. If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll probably save money by hiring 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 rental 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 understand rental property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the benefit of having a professional on your side.
- Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every property must have upkeep. When your tenant emails for maintenance will you know who to hire and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's expense and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you may want to move toward employing a rental property manager.
