Although an invester will enjoy several advantages from employing a property management company, there is also an associated expense with hiring a rental property manager. In addition to the costs of rental management, there are other reasons why property management might not be for you. Consider the following questions to determine whether hiring a property management company would be the right choice for your rental property. Factors to consider:- Will you reside and work not far from your property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Northern Virginia 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 relish the chore of finding reliable tenants. Some landlords find that maintaining a property and managing cleaners is pleasurable. Therefore, they get a kick out of taking early morning calls. Nevertheless, if you don't want another job, you may not want the chores of managing your own investment. If, you don't need the work from the routine tasks, you should probably think about employing a rental property manager to help to manage your investment.
- Do you want to fight with your tenants? If you have tenants, eventually you will have disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find arguing with your renters is pleasant. In addition, if you're not a full-time rental property manager, you can get into trouble 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. So, hiring a property manager may 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 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 know the tenant's rights? Do you know your duties? The more you know about rental management in today's litigious society 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? Each rental property must have upkeep. If your tenant contacts for maintenance will you know who to hire and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's responsibility and which repairs are a renter expense. If not, you should consider employing a property management company.
