Although you will find many benefits from hiring a property management company, 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 questions to determine whether employing a property management company would be the right decision for your property. Ask yourself these questions:

Do you live and work near your property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Fairfax 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 challenge of identifying reliable tenants. Some real estate investors believe that dispatching handymen and managing cleaners is pleasurable. For this reason, they have fun taking late night calls. But even so, if you don't need more work, you may not want the work of managing your own rental property. If, you want little or nothing to do with the routine chores, you would be smart to consider employing a rental property manager to manage your rental property.
Do you want to manage your tenants? If you have renters, with out a doubt you will have to deal with problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find arguing with your renters is pleasant. In addition, if you're not a full-time property manager, you can get in deep trouble in a hurry if you don't understand landlord-tenant law. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you want is more to worry about. Hence, employing a property manager might be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a rental property manager 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 manager.
Can you afford the risk? Do you understand the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act? Do you understand the tenant's rights? Do you understand your duties? The more you understand property management in today's litigious society the more you'll know the value of paying a professional in your corner.
Do you have access to a network of maintenance people? Each rental property needs maintenance. When your tenant emails 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 may want to consider hiring a property manager.
