While there are many benefits from employing a property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a rental property manager. In addition to the cost of property management, there are other reasons why property management might not be for every landlord. Weigh the following questions to decide if hiring a rental property manager would be the right decision for your rental property. Factors to consider:

Do you reside and work close to your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Carver Place 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 property management? Some landlords relish the chore of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some property owners believe that dispatching handymen and managing handymen is pleasurable. Accordingly, they like taking late night calls. But, if you don't need more work, you may not want the work of managing your own rental property. When, you don't need the work from the routine tasks, you are smart to think about employing a property management company to manage your rental property.
Do you want to deal with your renters? If you have tenants, eventually you will have issues. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find managing your tenants is pleasant. More importantly, if you're not a professional property manager, you can get in deep trouble in a hurry if you don't know the law. If you've already got your hands full, the last thing you need is more to worry about. So, hiring a property manager might be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a property manager is much more attractive choice if you're not in a cash crunch. If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably save money by employing 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 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 know the benefit of having a professional in your corner.
Do you have a list of maintenance people? Each investment requires maintenance. When your renter emails in need of maintenance will you know who to phone 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 might want to move toward hiring a property manager.
