While you will find quite a few benefits from hiring a property manager, there is also an associated expense with employing a property manager. In addition to the cost of property management, there are other reasons why property management may not be for every landlord. Weigh the following factors to decide whether hiring a rental property manager would be the best decision for you.
Ask yourself these questions:
Will you live and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent North Arlington is a very transient region. Northern Virginia has a lot 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 property management? Some landlords enjoy the chore of identifying reliable tenants. Some landlords think that keeping up with maintenance and managing details is fun. For this reason, they have fun taking early morning calls. Conversely, if you don't need more work, you may not want the duties of managing your own investment. If, you want little or nothing to do with the day-to-day chores, you are smart to consider hiring a property management company to manage your property.
Do you like manage your renters? If you have renters, eventually you will have disagreements. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find managing your renters is satisfying. In addition, if you're not a full-time property management company, you can get into trouble quickly if you don't understand landlord-tenant law. If you've already got a full-plate, the last thing you need is extra hassles. Hence, hiring a property manager may be a good (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 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 hire a rental property manager.
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 responsibilities? The more you understand property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll know the value of having a professional in your corner.
Do you have a list of maintenance people? Each rental property must have maintenance. If your renter emails 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 real estate investor's responsibility and which repairs are a tenant expense. If not, you may want to move toward hiring a property manager.
