While you will find significant advantages from hiring a property manager, there is also an associated expense with employing a rental property manager. In addition to the cost of rental management, there are other reasons why rental management might not be for you. Consider the following questions to figure out if employing a property manager would be a good option for you. Factors to consider:

Do you reside and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Rosslyn is a very transient area. 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 relish the challenge of identifying good tenants. Some landlords find that maintaining a property and managing little tasks is rewarding. So, they like fielding calls at strange hours. But, if you don't need more work, you might not want the work of managing your own investment. If, you want little or nothing to do with the routine management of your properties, you would be smart to think about hiring a property management company to handle your investment.
Do you like argue with your tenants? If you have renters, sooner or later you will have to deal with disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find wrestling your renters is a joy. In addition, if you're not a trained property manager, you can get in a mess quickly if you don't know local regulations. If you've already got your hands full, then the last thing you need is extra hassles. Hence, hiring a property management company may be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing 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 likely 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 rental 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 know about rental management in today's litigious society the more you'll know the benefit of paying an expert on your side.
Do you have maintenance people? Every investment requires repairs. If your renter contacts for property upkeep will you know who to hire and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the landlord's responsibility and which repairs are a renter responsibility. If not, you may want to consider employing a rental property manager.
