Although an invester will enjoy many advantages from hiring a property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a rental property manager. In addition to the fees of rental property management, there are other reasons why rental management may not be for you. Weigh the following factors to determine whether employing a property management company would be a good choice for you. Ask yourself these questions:

Will you live and work not far from your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Shawnee Heights 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 believe that managing maintence and managing workers is fun. Hence, they like taking late night calls. In contrast, if you don't need more work, you may not want the chores of managing your own investment. If, you don't want the work from the day-to-day chores, you would be smart to consider hiring a rental property manager to help to manage your rental property.
Do you like wrestle your renters? If you have tenants, sooner or later you will have issues. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find wrestling your tenants is pleasant. In addition, if you're not a trained property management company, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't understand landlord obligations. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you need is extra worries. Hence, employing a property management company may be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a rental property manager 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 hiring a rental property manager and writing off the expense. But if at the end of every month cash is tight, you might not want to hire a rental 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 understand rental management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the value of paying a professional on your side.
Do you have maintenance people? Every rental property requires maintenance. When your tenant talk tos in need of maintenance will you know who to phone and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the landlord's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you might want to move toward employing a rental property manager.
