7 Benefits Of Using A Property Manager

Running property on your own is like being a concierge, receptionist, accountant, bill collector, and maintenance worker all in one. Thankfully, you don’t have to go it alone, as an experienced property manager can keep things in line for you.

Have someone to manage your tenants

Tenants have many needs, and it can be hard to stay on top of them if you are trying to handle everything yourself. Without a property manager, being a good landlord sometimes means dealing with calls in the middle of the night or issues that interrupt your vacation. With a property manager, someone else will answer those calls and handle any problems.

Ensure your rent is paid on time

No property owner would cite rent collection as their favorite part of owning an investment property, but it has to be done. Your property manager will help you maintain your rent collection schedule so that you can keep your property’s cash flow statement strong and have the money you need to pay its bills.

Guard against legal problems

In most states, tenant law is a wide-ranging collection of statutes and legal precedents that are difficult even for real estate lawyers to keep track of. Experienced property managers may not be real estate lawyers, but they are likely to have several years of experience in dealing with rental property legal issues, and they can help you avoid disputes.

Enjoy lower maintenance costs

It’s no secret that good contractors cost money, but established property management companies often have negotiated agreements with certain contractors and vendors that can get you lower repair rates. Not to mention the fact that the property manager will have already done the work in vetting the contractor and finding someone who is licensed, insured, and bonded.

Have more free time for yourself

Your investment property is supposed to augment your income so that you have more money to do the things you love. But you can’t spend much time doing what you love if you’re taking on what is essentially the full-time job of managing the property.

Increase the value of your property

When you have a property manager who is ready to tackle maintenance issues before they fester, you’re much more likely to keep the property in excellent shape. This will help you justify rent increases and improve the value if you decide to sell.
