3 Benefits Of Hiring A Property Manager Are you looking to rent out one of your properties? Whether you are new to this whole ‘being a landlord’ thing or you’ve done it for years, hiring a professional property manager may save you big in time, energy, and money. If you are like most landlords, you probably have a job aside from being a landlord. Do you really want another one? Property managers dedicate their days to taking care of all the little details that go into managing a property and dealing with tenants, and they do it professionally. Why not take advantage of their expertise? There are many benefits to hiring a property manager. Here we are rounding up our top 3 reasons why you should hire a property manager. #1. Tenant Screenings
Everyday your property sits vacant it costs you money. We know the stress this can cause. We also know that the sight of a potential tenant filling in that vacancy can cloud your judgement. In the rush to get a tenant to move in, you might not see clear red flags in a tenant’s screening report, or worse, forget to screen a tenant altogether. When you hire an experienced property manager, you will be surprised with how he/she could easily spot potential problems. His/her trained eyes, make it easier to notice red flags at an early phase. By doing so, you are able to improve your chances of obtaining a reliable tenant. #2. A Point Of Contact Renting out and managing a property on your own can be very daunting. The toilet broke, the A/C is leaking, the neighbor’s dog is barking, the tenant lost his job and needs a few days to make rent… being a landlord means being the go-to person for every issue the tenant has. You already have a full time job, wouldn’t it be better to let someone else handle the issues? Someone who has a reliable team of plumbers, electricians, handymen, and lawyers on speed dial and can help you fix problems while you just wait for an update? #3. Rent Paid on Time This is definitely one of the biggest benefits of hiring a property manager. As someone who treats this as a business, you want to make sure that your tenants pay on time. A property manager will chase tenants to ensure that these individuals pay their rent on time. He/she understands that for this business to grow, making sure that payments are paid on time is key.

It's awesome that hiring property management professionals can help make sure that there are no red flags in a tenant through their screening process and provide handymen contacts to help fix any problems. It seems like if someone were to own apartments, it would be helpful to hire a company like this so that they could not have to spend as much time running everything. If I know anyone managing any property themselves, I think I'd let them know that hiring a property management service could alleviate their workload.

I just bought a condo unit that I would put up for rent, but the thing is I'm quite busy with my other businesses, therefore, I wouldn't be able to fully manage it. Maybe, it would be beneficial on my part if a property manager will be hired for the job. It's great to learn that a property manager will make sure that tenants will pay on time.

Thanks for helping me understand the benefits of hiring a property manager. My uncle plans to put one of his properties for rent and he's thinking if he should hire a manager for it.

We own some rental property in a small town. So far we have had so much success, we have been able to expand. It has come to the point where we have to either quit our day job to take on full property management ourselves or hire out. I love it when you describe how daunting it is to manage your own property with the plumbing issues, electrical, and all handyman work, not to mention legal issues. We love our full time job, so we have elected to hire a property management company to take on our investments.

Given that the majority of property managers already have a list of connections, you won't have to worry about a contractor's availability or getting a reasonable quotation. Additionally, the property manager may be in charge of making sure they completed the task for which you paid them, so you won't need to do that. A property manager can be hired for 6% to 12% of the monthly rent, with additional costs for things needed for repairs and replacement. This price will change based on where you are. Property management costs are an expense line item for you that considerably reduces your investment's profitability, especially if you simply own a few properties.
