While you will find significant benefits from employing a rental property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a property manager. In addition to the fees of rental management, there are other reasons why rental management may not be for every landlord. Consider the following questions to figure out if hiring a rental property manager would be the right option for you. Factors to consider:

Will you live and work near your property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Gideon Square 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 task of identifying reliable tenants. Some real estate investors think that dispatching handymen and managing handymen is rewarding. Accordingly, they have fun taking calls at strange hours. Conversely, if you don't need more work, you might not want the duties of managing your own rental property. When, you want little or nothing to do with the day-to-day management of your properties, you should probably think about employing a property management company to help to manage your investment.
Do you like argue with your tenants? If you have tenants, sooner or later you will have to deal with disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find managing your tenants is a joy. More importantly, if you're not a trained property manager, you can get in a mess quickly if you don't know local regulations. If you've already got a full-plate, then the last thing you want is extra worries. So, hiring a property manager might be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a property management company is much more attractive choice if if your cash flow is positive. If monthly cash-flow is not a problem, you'll likely save money by employing a property manager 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 responsibilities? The more you know about property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the benefit of having a professional in your corner.
Do you have maintenance people? Each investment requires repairs. When your tenant contacts for property upkeep will you know who to phone and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the landlord's responsibility and which repairs are a renter responsibility. If not, you might want to consider employing a property manager.
