Why It’s Important to Have a Licensed Property Manager for Your Long-Term Rental Property

For many homeowners, when you have a long-term rental property, finding the perfect property manager may seem daunting. But what about if that property manager wasn’t doing everything, they could help take care of your property? Would that make you uncomfortable to let the management company take over your property? These are all valid questions that we often get asked with Village Properties, and we are here to answer these for you.

What Does a Property Manager Do?

You may have seen other property management companies that say they have an outstanding property manager, but are they? We at Village Properties are a rental property management team that cares for our clients and their properties. We take pride in having a licensed property manager who keeps up with everything, including the laws and codes. Our property manager, Justin, is one of those licensed property managers we can’t recommend enough. He continues to further his education yearly to ensure that your property is up to date on all the current and new laws. We don’t want to see you have to pay out of pocket for something that your property manager could have easily rectified by knowing the tenant-landlord law.

When Should You Hire a Property Management Company?

This is another question that our prospected property owners and we have to say that you will know when the time comes. Rather than worrying about all the tenant-landlord laws, how to keep each property separate, or staying hands-on can be a handful, let our Long-Term rental team take over. A few things to consider when it’s time to hire a property management team are:

  • You have more than one property – we have noticed that the more properties you own, the harder it can be to manage it yourself.
  • Not living near your long-term rental property – depending on where you may be living in the country; you may not be close to a quick drive to your property. This, in turn, can lead to costly trips to see if something needs to be fixed or checked on more than once a year.
  • Your time is limited – this can go hand in hand with not living near your rental property and can take more time out of your day to handle anything that needs to be done with the property.

We at Village Properties are here to help you make that hard decision by allowing us to take over your rental property and manage it for you. Taking time off work to go to manage your property on your own can be not only time-consuming but also costly. Rather than worrying about your property, allow us to do that for you.
