Are you a stressed-out landlord with too little time to deal with the everyday demands of managing a property? If so, you’re not alone. The good news is that you don’t have to be because a property manager can help. A property manager takes the stress out of being a landlord and opens up an ocean of time and space in your life. Read on to see why.
A Property Manager Acts as a Point of Contact for Tenants
Who knew that earning passive income would take so much active work? As a landlord, you’re constantly faced with new responsibilities and unexpected dilemmas. These can easily interrupt your life and demand your time and attention if you don’t have a property manager to delegate to.
A property manager is available to tenants 24/7. They answer maintenance calls, deal with emergencies, and fix squabbles between neighbors. If something goes wrong in the apartment, it will be handled efficiently and the landlord will be notified later. That means more time (and peace-of-mind) for you.
Property Managers Give You Better Tenants
Property managers list your properties for you and screen tenants whenever they apply. They adhere to your policies first and foremost and weed out undesirable applicants.
If you don’t want pets on your land, a property manager will ensure your tenants don’t have any. If you only want applicants with credit scores above 600, a property manager will ignore all applications below that number.
With such a rigorous screening process in place, you’ll get better tenants, which equates to fewer problems in the future.
Good Property Management Equals Fewer Legal Problems
Speaking of problems, there’s always one type of problem everyone avoids: legal ones. If, by chance, you get a bad tenant, your property manager will guide you through the eviction process. They’ll make sure you follow your state’s complicated eviction procedures so you’re not caught at the poor end of the deal later on.
Property Managers Make Sure Rent Paid on Time
Rent needs to be paid and paid on time because there are other costs associated with the property that must be covered. But we’re preaching to the choir, here. If you’re a landlord, you already know the importance of timely payments—and the risk of late-paying tenants.
Avoid all of that with property management services that not only ensure that rent is paid on time but have the authority to take legal action on your behalf. A property manager might cost a monthly premium but that’s worth a lot when you consider the stress relief.
Low Maintenance Costs
There are other costs associated with renting a property, As a landlord, you have a responsibility to maintain the property to a legally acceptable standard, which can get costly when you hire services externally. A property management company can reduce these costs.
Partnering with a property manager means you get access to all their maintenance personnel and facilities. For no extra cost, your property manager will maintain the property and fix any emergency issues swiftly.
