Although there are many advantages from employing a rental property manager, there is also an associated expense with employing a property manager. In addition to the cost of rental management, there are other reasons why rental property management might not be for every landlord. Consider the following questions to figure out if hiring a property management company would be the best choice for your property. Factors to consider:

Do you reside and work near your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Ravensworth Grove is a very transient community. Northern Virginia has quite a few 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 real estate investors think that managing maintence and managing details is rewarding. Therefore, they have fun taking calls at strange hours. Above all, if you don't need another job, you might not want the chores of managing your own property. If, you don't want the work from the day-to-day management of your properties, you are smart to think about employing a rental property manager to manage your rental property.
Do you like wrestle your tenants? If you have tenants, with out a doubt you will have issues. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find fight with your renters is fun. In addition, if you're not a trained rental property manager, you can get in a mess quickly if you don't understand tenant's right. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you want is extra worries. Thus, hiring a rental property manager might be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property management company is much more attractive choice 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 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 rental 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 understand your responsibilities? The more you understand rental property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the benefit of having an expert on your side.
Do you have access to a network of maintenance people? Every property requires repairs. If your renter reach out tos 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 responsibility and which repairs are a renter expense. If not, you should consider hiring a property management company.
