Landlords count on our family real estate brokerage to take care of their real estate investments in Arlington.

• Do you reside and work not far from your property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Arlington is a very transient region. Northern Virginia has more than our share 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 enjoy the chore of finding reliable tenants. Some real estate investors believe that maintaining a property and managing details is rewarding. Therefore, they like fielding late night calls. Above all, if you don't want another job, you may not want the duties of managing your own investment. If, you want little or nothing to do with the day-to-day chores, you should probably think about employing a property management company to handle your investment.
• Do you like wrestle your renters? If you have renters, eventually you will have issues. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find wrestling your renters is pleasant. In addition, if you're not a full-time property manager, you can get into trouble quickly if you don't understand local regulations. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you want is extra worries. Thus, hiring a property manager may be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
• Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a rental property manager is much more attractive option if you're not in a cash crunch.  If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll probably 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 hire a property management company.
• 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 management in today's litigious culture the more you'll know the value of employing an expert in your corner.
• Do you have maintenance people? Each rental property needs upkeep. When your tenant talk tos in need of property upkeep will you know who to call and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the landlord's expense and which repairs are a renter responsibility. If not, you should move toward employing a rental property manager.
