Hello, lovebirds.
If you’ve been a landlord for years – or perhaps just for days or weeks! – you’ve likely fallen into some habits when it comes to your property.
Perhaps you’re the one fixing that leaky toilet. When rent time comes, maybe you’re the one tracking down your tenants’ check? And, if something goes wrong, you’re left navigating what may be a very complex and painful scenario.
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day and beyond, let’s dive into three of the big reasons why you’ll love working with a property manager:
1) Take back your time! My goodness, the little things that can go wrong with a property sure can add up in time. We mentioned the leaky toilet, but what about appliance fixes, HVAC issues, a problematic roof... and the list goes on and on. A trusted property manager will know just the right folks to take care of your home’s most pesky issues, leaving you with more time to redirect elsewhere.
2) Take back your energy! We’ve talked about the time and, right there with it, is your energy. Being a landlord can be incredibly stressful and a lot of folks just aren’t equipped to handle it. In addition to the physical aspects of your property you need to think about, things can arise with your tenants. And these things are not always fun. With a property management company, they’ve got your back through thick and thin.
3) Maximize your investment! In contemplating a property management company, a common piece of feedback is “oh man, that sounds expensive.” In reality – and based on how much time and energy you may be pouring into your property otherwise – it may actually save you big-time down the line. In that case, enjoy redirecting that saved dough to another investment or wherever your heart may please.
