Our Rental Property Management Prоvіdеѕ Pеасе оf Mіnd For Investors in Crystal City
While you will find many benefits from employing a property manager, there is also a cost associated with employing a rental property manager. In addition to the costs of property management, there are other reasons why property management might not be for you. Think about the following factors to determine whether hiring a property manager would be the best choice for your investment.
Factors to consider:
- Do you live and work near your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Crystal City is a very transient region. 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 chore of finding trustworthy tenants. Some landlords believe that managing maintence and managing details is rewarding. Therefore, they have fun taking late night calls. Above all, if you don't want more work, you might not want the work of managing your own property. If, you don't want the work from the routine management of your properties, you would be smart to consider employing a rental property manager to help to manage your rental property.
- Do you like argue with your renters? If you have renters, sooner or later you will have issues. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find fight with your renters is a joy. More importantly, if you're not a trained rental property manager, you can get in a mess quickly if you don't know landlord-tenant law. If you've already got your hands full, the last thing you need is extra worries. Thus, employing a property management company may be a good (and tax deductible) expense.
- Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. hiring a property management company is much more attractive option if you're not in a cash crunch. If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably 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 property management company.
- Can you afford the risk? Do you understand the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act? Do you understand the tenant's rights? Do you know your duties? The more you know about rental property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of hiring a professional on your side.
- Do you have access to a network of maintenance people? Every property needs repairs. When your renter emails in need of maintenance will you know who to call and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant responsibility. If not, you may want to consider employing a rental property manager.
