Are you one of the lucky property owners who has a fantastic Property Manager you appreciate and are happy to pay for? If so, then keep scrolling.
But if you're not, here are 9 Reasons to Ditch Your (underperforming) Property Manager.
1. Cost savings: By managing your rental property yourself, you can save money on fees that would otherwise be paid to a property manager.
2. Personal control: You have complete control over all aspects of the management of your rental property, including tenant screening, rent collection, and property maintenance.
3. Familiarity with the property: You have an intimate knowledge of your property, its features, and its history.
4. Flexibility: You can be more flexible and responsive to changes and challenges that arise with your rental property, without having to wait for a property manager to respond. They have hundreds of properties to look after all at once – you have one or two.
5. Better communication: You can communicate directly with your tenants and address their concerns in a more personal and effective manner. With modern apps and technology platforms you can still retain your privacy and manage communications.
6. Transparency: By managing the property yourself, you have complete transparency and visibility into all aspects of your property, including tenant selection, rent collection, and maintenance issues. No hidden surprises.
7. Time savings: By managing the property yourself, you can save time on communication and coordination with a property manager, allowing you to focus on other areas of your life or business.
8. Greater profit potential: By managing the property yourself, you can make decisions that maximize the potential profitability of your rental property.
9. Sense of accomplishment: Successfully managing your rental property yourself can give you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, and help you build your skills and expertise as a property owner.
Of course, managing your rental property yourself does require time, effort, and expertise. However, if you have the right support and are willing to invest the time, managing your rental property yourself can be a great option.
