Hiring the Right Property Management Company

Some real estate investors will manage their properties.  Some truly enjoy the task of maintaining the property and working with tenants, and for others, the rental is located in their hometown, and it’s simply convenient.  I managed my first rental myself for six months, but I discovered that my time was more valuable to focus on my mortgage company.   I hired a property management company at the typical 7-12% range and haven't looked back. Now I could better leverage my time and strength in acquiring new investments to cover the cost of a property manager.

DIY Property Management

If you are planning on managing your rental, there are three main skill sets that you need to master:

1. Finding the right tenants
2. Learning the local landlord rules and regulations
3. Creating a network of services to respond to tenant requests within 24-28 hours

If you are working a full-time job to support your business or simply don’t enjoy property management, you will be best served by hiring a seasoned professional.  Hiring the right professional property manager will free your time to build your business.  As a result you will have the time to do what you truly enjoy.

Hiring the right professional will allow you to expand your business while keeping your tenants happy and maintaining a good monthly cash flow.
