Although you will find many benefits from employing a property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a rental property manager. In addition to the fees of rental management, there are other reasons why property management might not be for every landlord. Think about the following questions to decide whether hiring a property management company would be the right option for your investment. Factors to consider:

Do you live and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Pentagon Ridge 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 relish the task of identifying reliable tenants. Some landlords think that maintaining a property and managing little tasks is pleasurable. Therefore, they get a kick out of taking calls at strange hours. But, if you don't want another job, you may not want the duties of managing your own investment. If, you don't need the work from the routine management of your properties, you are smart to consider hiring a property manager to handle your rental property.
Do you like deal with your tenants? If you have renters, sooner or later you will have problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find dealing with your renters is a joy. More importantly, if you're not a full-time rental property manager, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't understand landlord obligations. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you need is extra worries. Therefore, employing a property manager might be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property manager is much more attractive choice if if your cash flow is positive. If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll probably save money by paying a property manager and writing off the expense. But if at the end of every month cash is tight, you might not want to pay 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 know about rental property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll know the benefit of employing an experience manager in your corner.
Do you have maintenance people? Every rental property must have repairs. If your tenant reach out tos in need of repairs will you know who to call and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's expense and which repairs are a renter expense. If not, you should consider hiring a property manager.
