While an invester will enjoy significant benefits from hiring a rental property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a property management company. In addition to the cost of property management, there are other reasons why property management may not be for every landlord. Weigh the following questions to determine whether hiring a property management company would be the right option for your investment. Ask yourself these questions:

Will you reside and work close to your property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Fairfax County is a very transient area. 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 property management? Some landlords look forward to the challenge of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some property owners believe that managing maintence and managing details is fun. Hence, they have fun taking late night calls. Nevertheless, if you don't want another job, you might not want the chores of managing your own investment. If, you don't need the work from the day-to-day chores, you would be smart to consider employing a property management company to handle your investment.
Do you like fight with your tenants? If you have renters, with out a doubt you will have disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find fight with your tenants is satisfying. In addition, if you're not a trained rental property manager, you can get into trouble quickly if you don't understand landlord obligations. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you need is extra worries. Thus, employing a property manager might be a way (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property manager is much more attractive option if if your cash flow is positive. If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, 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 pay 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 understand your duties? 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? Every rental property needs upkeep. If your renter talk tos in need of property upkeep will you know who to phone and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you may want to think about hiring a property management company.
