Although there are quite a few benefits from employing a rental property manager, there is also an associated expense with hiring a property management company. In addition to the cost of property management, there are other reasons why rental management may not be for you. Consider the following factors to determine if hiring a rental property manager would be a good choice for your investment. Factors to consider:

Do you live and work near your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Bluemont is a very transient area. 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 property management? Some landlords relish the task of identifying good tenants. Some property owners believe that keeping up with maintenance and managing cleaners is fun. For this reason, they get a kick out of fielding late night calls. But even so, if you don't want more work, you may not want the duties of managing your own investment. If, you don't want the work from the day-to-day tasks, you are smart to consider employing a property manager to manage your rental property.
Do you want to wrestle your renters? If you have renters, with out a doubt 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. More importantly, if you're not a full-time rental property manager, you can get into trouble quickly if you don't know landlord obligations. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you need is extra hassles. Therefore, employing a property management company might be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a property management company is much more attractive option if if your cash flow is positive. If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably save money by hiring a property management company 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 understand the tenant's rights? Do you know your duties? The more you know about property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of hiring a professional on your side.
Do you have maintenance people? Each investment needs maintenance. If your tenant contacts for property upkeep will you know who to call and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the landlord's expense and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you should consider employing a rental property manager.
