Do you need property management in Shenandoah?

Although there are significant benefits from hiring a property manager, there is also a cost associated with hiring a property management company. In addition to the costs of property management, there are other reasons why rental management might not be for you. Think about the following factors to decide if hiring a property manager would be a good decision for your investment. Factors to consider:

• Will you live and work near your investment? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Shenandoah is a very transient area. 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 relish the task of identifying trustworthy tenants. Some property owners find that maintaining a property and managing workers is pleasurable. Accordingly, they have fun taking late night calls. Nevertheless, if you don't need more work, you may not want the duties of managing your own rental property. When, you don't need the work from the day-to-day chores, you are smart to consider employing a property management company to help to manage your investment.
• Do you want to manage your renters? If you have tenants, eventually you will have to deal with problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find dealing with your renters is fun. More importantly, if you're not a trained rental property manager, you can get in a mess in a hurry if you don't understand local regulations. If you've already got your hands full, then the last thing you need is extra worries. Therefore, hiring a property manager may be a smart (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 rental 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 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 understand your responsibilities?  The more you understand property management in today's litigious culture the more you'll understand the benefit of employing an expert on your side.
• Do you have maintenance people? Every rental property requires maintenance. If your tenant contacts for repairs will you know who to phone and what to do in a prompt manner? Do you know which repairs are the property owner's expense and which repairs are a renter expense. If not, you may want to move toward hiring a property manager.
