Granada Hills – Property Management

 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT GRANADA HILLS

When you’re a landlord, managing your own property or properties is a way to keep your costs low, and it allows you to turn a larger profit from your rental. However, over time you may start considering the option of hiring a property manager to take over for you – whether it’s due to time constraints, a desire to focus on other projects, or simply a feeling that you’ve taken on too many investment properties to do it all on your own. Regardless of the reasoning, you should think through your decision carefully, and part of doing that is understanding what a property manager offers you.

What Do Property Managers Bring to the Table?

• Fast response time to prospective tenants – if you’ve got another job and maintain your rental in your spare time, you may not be able to get back to people as quickly as you need to. There are tons of rentals on the market, pretty much at all times. If you don’t contact someone quickly while they’re waiting for information, someone else might just snatch them up.
• A higher level of objectivity when dealing with difficult tenants – if there is an issue, it’s easier to take it personally when it’s your property. After all, you’re the one that has to come up with the cash if your tenant fails to pay their rent on time, for example. But working with a property manager means that the issue can be dealt with in a way that avoids rash actions that may get you sued!
• Experience with maintenance – landlords have the tendency to try and do all property maintenance themselves, and that isn’t always a good thing. You may also find yourself in a blind panic when a tenant mentions that there’s been a flood, and lose the ability to make rational decisions with regards to outsourcing the repairs. A property manager may be better suited to make a calm, logical decision in moments that require quick, decisive action.
• Useful advice – you might think you know it all, but as real estate professionals, property managers (at least some of them!) may have the leg up when it comes to tenant screening, pricing a rental, and more!
