Investing in property can be a highly financially rewarding endeavour. However, it is a process that takes a lot of time and effort to do correctly. DIYing property management can work for people who are experienced or have the time, but the reality is that most people need professional help.

So here is why it’s well worth calling in professional property managers, like those at Established Property.

Set The Right Rental Rate

A good property management company will conduct a thorough market study in order to set a rental price for your property, ensuring that you achieve the perfect balance between maximising monthly income and maintaining a low vacancy rate. Although looking online to see what other landlords are charging for similar properties is a usual way to ballpark your rent price, a good property management company will go beyond to fine-tune the process.

Collecting Rent Payments on Time

Collecting and checking that rent has been paid is a time-consuming task. Property management companies can help set up dependable frameworks to ensure payments are made on time. They also know how to proceed if these payments are not made on time.

Correctly Marketing The Property

Through lengthy experience, a property manager will know precisely where to showcase your property and how to find the right people to occupy a property. This means knowing the age ranges of the people who use specific websites and which websites to avoid marketing your property on.

Finding Good Tenants

A property manager can ensure that all prospective tenants have security and criminal background checks, credit reports, employment verifications and references. Doing all this yourself can take hours upon hours to complete and really isn’t worth stressing over.

Managing Tenant Needs

A property management company will handle all aspects of the tenant-landlord relationship in addition to finding reliable tenants. The property manager will handle both routine and emergency maintenance, routine inspections, and conflict resolution issues, giving you peace of mind.

Managing Vendor Relationships

Property managers who are experts at knowing the right people. This means that they will have merchants, moving companies, labourers and tradespeople on standby to come to make sure the property is well maintained and remains in working order.

Ensuring Legal Compliance

When renting and maintaining your rental property, you must adhere to numerous applicable laws and regulations. In Australia, there are many legal requirements landlords must adhere to and any claims made against landlords can lead to later not being able to manage properties, so making sure this is done right is important.

Allowing Long Distance Investments

If you live close to the properties you manage, you may be able to do things yourself, but if you hire a property manager you can manage properties regardless of area and expand your investment portfolio to more lucrative spaces.

Minimising Wasted Time

If you hire a property manager to handle the day-to-day operations of your investment property, you can focus on finding new investment opportunities or developing your financial portfolio in other ways, or just enjoying yourself.
