Although there are many advantages from employing a property management company, there is also an associated expense with hiring a rental property manager. In addition to the fees of rental management, there are other reasons why rental management might not be for every landlord. Think about the following factors to determine whether employing a property management company would be the best choice for your rental property. Factors to consider:

Do you reside and work not far from your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent West Langley is a very transient area. Northern Virginia has more than our share 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 enjoy the chore of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some property owners find that managing maintence and managing workers is rewarding. Hence, they get a kick out of taking early morning calls. But, if you don't need more work, you might not want the chores of managing your own property. When, you want little or nothing to do with the routine tasks, you are smart to think about employing a rental property manager to handle your rental property.
Do you want to argue with your tenants? If you have tenants, sooner or later you will have problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find fight with your renters is fun. More importantly, if you're not a trained property management company, you can get in deep trouble in a hurry if you don't know landlord obligations. If you've already got your hands full, then the last thing you want is more to worry about. Accordingly, employing a rental property manager might be a way (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 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 employ 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 responsibilities? The more you know about property management in today's litigious society the more you'll know the value of hiring a professional in your corner.
Do you have maintenance people? Each property needs upkeep. When your tenant contacts in need of repairs will you know who to call and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant responsibility. If not, you should think about hiring a property manager.
