While you will find several benefits from hiring a property manager, there is also a cost associated 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 you. Think about the following questions to figure out if employing a property management company would be the best option for you.
Ask yourself these questions:
Do you reside and work not far from your property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Mount Vernon 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 management? Some landlords enjoy the task of identifying reliable tenants. Some property owners think that managing maintence and managing details is pleasurable. For this reason, they like taking late night calls. But, if you don't need more work, you may not want the chores of managing your own property. If, you want little or nothing to do with the routine management of your properties, you would be smart to consider hiring a property manager to help to manage your rental property.
Do you like deal with your renters? 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 wrestling your renters is a joy. More importantly, if you're not a trained rental property manager, you can get in deep trouble in a hurry if you don't understand local regulations. If you've already got your hands full, then the last thing you want is extra hassles. Accordingly, employing a property management company may be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a property manager is much more attractive choice if you're not in a cash crunch. If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably 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 engage a property management company.
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 duties? The more you understand rental management in today's litigious society the more you'll know the value of hiring a professional on your side.
Do you have a list of maintenance people? Each rental property requires repairs. If your renter reach out tos in need of repairs will you know who to call and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you may want to move toward hiring a property management company.
