While you will find quite a few advantages from employing a rental 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 may not be for every landlord. Consider the following factors to decide if employing a rental property manager would be the best choice for your investment. Ask yourself these questions:

Do you live and work not far from your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Springbrook Forest 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 look forward to the challenge of identifying good tenants. Some property owners believe that managing maintence and managing cleaners is pleasurable. Therefore, they get a kick out of fielding early morning calls. But, if you don't need more work, you might not want the work of managing your own rental property. When, you don't need the work from the routine management of your properties, you would be smart to consider employing a property manager to help to manage your rental property.
Do you like deal with your tenants? If you have tenants, eventually you will have to deal with disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find fight with 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 understand the law. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you need is more to worry about. So, employing a property manager may be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a rental property manager 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 hire a property management company.
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 duties? The more you know about rental property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the value of having an experience manager in your corner.
Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every investment requires repairs. If your tenant emails for repairs will you know who to hire and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's responsibility and which repairs are a renter responsibility. If not, you might want to move toward hiring a rental property manager.
