Property Management

Why does one need a property management company? Isn’t a property management company an unnecessary expense? This is quite frequently the feelings of most “mom and pop” landlords. Many choose to manage their income properties on their own. Most of the time, they can. However, at times, many feel they can never get out of town or put head to pillow at night without the worry of an unforeseen phone call from a tenant with an emergency. Other property owners feel that the expense of a management company does not outweigh the benefits. I am here to tell you that hiring a project management company is key to enhancing your rental income by providing you peace of mind that someone is managing your property while looking out for your best interest.
