A property manager can be useful when you lack the time or systems to handle the ongoing demands of a rental.
Compare the work with your capacity
Consider enquiries, application assessment, rent records, maintenance, inspections and changing tenancy requirements. Ask who will handle your property and how they will communicate. Compare the full written fee schedule, not only the percentage management fee.
Retain oversight
Set repair authorities, review statements and keep enough funds for required work. The agent represents you but must respect tenant rights. Appointing a manager does not guarantee a profitable tenancy or remove landlord responsibilities. Choose support that improves decisions and continuity rather than relying on a promise that every problem will disappear.
