Do you want to talk to a rental property manager in Arlington?

• Will you reside and work near your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Arlington 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 look forward to the task of identifying good tenants. Some property owners find that keeping up with maintenance and managing workers is fun. Accordingly, they like taking early morning calls. Above all, if you don't want more work, you may not want the work of managing your own property. If, you don't need the work from the day-to-day chores, you are smart to think about hiring a property management company to help to manage your investment.
• Do you want to wrestle your renters? If you have renters, with out a doubt you will have issues. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find managing your renters is fun. In addition, if you're not a trained property management company, you can get into trouble in a hurry if you don't know the law. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you need is more to worry about. For this reason, hiring a property manager might be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
• Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a rental property manager is much more attractive choice if you can afford it.  If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably save money by paying 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 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 duties?  The more you understand property management in today's litigious society the more you'll know the benefit of paying an expert on your side.
• Do you have access to a network of maintenance people? Every property must have maintenance. If your tenant contacts in need of maintenance will you know who to phone and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's expense and which repairs are a tenant responsibility. If not, you may want to think about hiring a property manager.
