An extensive network of attorneys

A professional property management company’s expertise minimizes mistakes, saving you from potential legal complications. However, one big mistake can break your landlord’s journey. So stay ahead of local and fair housing laws while benefiting from carefully crafted lease agreements.

Fast property turnover

Time is money, and property managers know this well. Their fast property turnover reduces vacancy time by approximately a month, so you can rent your property out faster. Start generating passive income sooner, adding to your balance sheet.

Bigger ROI Potential

While expensive cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami, and others may result in monthly negative cash flow, homes there often have higher appreciation rates than smaller cities in the mid-west, bringing a much better ROI when you cash out. So which do you prefer: being an equity investor or a cash flow investor?

If you are a full-time landlord and rely on property management as your primary source of income, it may not be worth hiring a property manager. If there are no issues with tenants, landlords typically dedicate a minimum of 40-60 hours per year to managing a single rental property.

However, your anticipated cost savings may not be as big as initially expected, especially if you are a higher earner. Moreover, Property Management Cost and Profitability Calculator allow you to unlock the full financial potential of your rental property. So is hiring a property manager worth it?
