While you will find significant advantages from hiring a rental property manager, there is also an associated expense with hiring a rental property manager. In addition to the cost of rental management, there are other reasons why property management might not be for every landlord. Weigh the following factors to figure out whether employing a property manager would be the best option for your investment. Factors to consider:

Will you reside and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent The Oaks At Mclean is a very transient region. Northern Virginia has a lot 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 enjoy the challenge of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some property owners think that managing maintence and managing cleaners is fun. So, they like fielding calls at strange hours. Above all, if you don't need another job, you may not want the work of managing your own rental property. When, you want little or nothing to do with the routine tasks, you should probably think about employing a rental property manager to help to manage your property.
Do you like manage your tenants? If you have tenants, eventually you will have to deal with 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 property manager, you can get into trouble quickly if you don't understand landlord-tenant law. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you want is more to worry about. For this reason, hiring a property manager may be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a rental property manager is much more attractive option if you're not in a cash crunch. If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll likely save money by paying 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 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 know about property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the value of hiring an experience manager in your corner.
Do you have a list of maintenance people? Every rental property must have repairs. If your renter contacts in need of property upkeep will you know who to call and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you should think about hiring a property management company.
