While there are quite a few advantages from employing a property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a rental property manager. In addition to the fees of property management, there are other reasons why property management may not be for you. Weigh the following questions to decide if employing a rental property manager would be a good decision for your property. Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you reside and work near your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Herndon is a very transient community. 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 rental property management? Some landlords enjoy the challenge of finding reliable tenants. Some real estate investors find that dispatching handymen and managing cleaners is fun. Thus, they like fielding early morning calls. In contrast, if you don't need another job, you may not want the chores of managing your own property. When, you don't want the work from the day-to-day chores, you should probably consider hiring a property management company to manage your property.
• Do you want to fight with your tenants? If you have renters, sooner or later you will have to deal with problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find arguing with your renters is fun. More importantly, if you're not a full-time property manager, you can get in deep trouble in a hurry if you don't understand landlord-tenant law. If you've already got your hands full, then the last thing you need is extra hassles. So, employing 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 if your cash flow is positive.  If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll likely save money by employing a property manager and writing off the expense.  But if at the end of every month cash is tight, you might not want to pay 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 know your duties?  The more you understand property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of employing an expert in your corner.
• Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every investment needs repairs. If your tenant emails in need of repairs will you know who to call 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 responsibility. If not, you might want to consider hiring a property manager.
