While an invester will enjoy several benefits from employing a property management company, there is also a cost associated with hiring a property management company. In addition to the fees of rental management, there are other reasons why rental property management may not be for you. Think about the following questions to determine whether employing a rental property manager would be the right option for you.
Ask yourself these questions:
Do you reside and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Annandale 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 rental management? Some landlords look forward to the task of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some landlords think that keeping up with maintenance and managing details is fun. Therefore, they like fielding early morning calls. Conversely, if you don't want more work, you might not want the chores of managing your own investment. If, you want little or nothing to do with the day-to-day management of your properties, you are smart to consider hiring a property management company to handle your rental property.
Do you like fight with your tenants? If you have renters, eventually you will have problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find fight with your tenants is satisfying. More importantly, if you're not a professional property manager, you can get into trouble in a hurry if you don't know landlord-tenant law. If you've already got your hands full, then the last thing you need is extra worries. Accordingly, hiring a rental property manager may be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property manager is much more attractive option if you can afford it. If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll likely save money by hiring 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 engage a 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 understand your responsibilities? The more you understand property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the benefit of paying an expert on your side.
Do you have a list of maintenance people? Each investment needs repairs. If your renter contacts in need of repairs will you know who to hire 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 tenant responsibility. If not, you might want to think about hiring a property manager.
