Three ways a property manager can help with your investment
Whether you're brand new to the investment market or are a seasoned property investor, a property management professional can be an invaluable resource.
From helping you find reliable tenants to assisting you with repairs and the legal obligations associated with being a landlord, your property manager can provide you with help through every stage of the rental process – and maximise your returns.
Finding tenants you can trust
When it comes to finding tenants you can rely on, it can pay to enlist the services of a property manager. With a wide reach and the ability to connect with a broad base of potential tenants, your manager can spread the message about your available property far and wide.
Unlike private landlords, property managers also have quick and easy access to screening process that can help identify suitable tenants – as well as the ones who may not be so suitable – and get all the paperwork done when it comes to drawing up a new lease.
Keeping everything in good order
The business of managing a property doesn't end when the new tenants sign on the dotted line. Property managers can assist you with everything from organising inventory reports to carrying out regular inspections – and should the need for a repair arise, they can address the issue for you.
Best of all, because of the nature of their business, property managers have a network of tradespeople at their disposal – and can often negotiate a better rate for any repairs than a landlord operating solo.
Legal support and assistance
Unfortunately, some tenant issues are harder to deal with than others, and should the need ever arise for legal action to be taken, your property manager will be an invaluable resource.
Your property manager can help to reduce your legal liability in the event any issues arise, and can be a useful support in the event you need to deal with a troublesome tenant who has caused damage or failed to pay the rent.
