Maybe you’re a new real estate investor, or have just acquired a new property, or your property is far away from your home, or maybe… you’re one of those people who’s tired of all the work and the dilemmas that come with managing your property. We suggest it’s time you think of hiring a good quality property manager.
A good property manager can be your biggest asset to make your business grow. Not only do they save you the time running around managing your business, but they also come with the know-hows and experience to manage your property. If you’re new in real estate, then this certainly is the best time hire a good one like Portland Homes LLC.
Other than collecting tenant rents, a good property manager takes all the responsibility in managing your investment off of your hands:
1. Marketing the Property and Maintaining your Property:
As a businessman, you wouldn't want to deal with all the work of putting up ads in the newspaper or analyzing the market and checking on the property. No! You'd like your money to work for you and would rather do something else worthwhile like looking for new investments or having a vacation with your kids.
Property managers will do all the work for you: advertising your property; meeting up and negotiating with your would be tenants; showing them the property and maintaining the property.
2. Finding the right tenants: Marketing alone is already a lot of work but so is finding and screening the right tenants. You'll have to do multiple background checks like checking on their criminal records; calling their employer to verify employment; checking their credit scores; and calling their previous landlords to make sure they have been paying on time.
3. Managing Your Tenants
One of the most vital things for a business to succeed is a good relationship on both parties. Having a good property manager that establishes that relationship with your tenants is the key.
For instance, one of your tenants is having some problems with their neighbor but your property manager goes ahead and deals with the situation. This earns the trust of your tenants making them want to stay in your property.
4. Getting the right rental prices
The rental rates differ from location to location and property managers know what the running rates are and how much to charge your tenants. They look at the competition, analyze the market and charge your tenants exactly what the property is worth for.
All four of these plus the collection of rent is a lot of work. But it’s not only the about workload being taken cared of but it’s also about the connection and the strategy that property managers provide you with. Not everyone is an expert in property management and there’s certain laws and regulations you’ll have to abide with, do’s and don’ts that you’ll have to figure out, marketing strategies you’ll need to learn to learn in order to maximize profitability and lots of other stuff. By hiring a property manager, you get access to these vital information.
