This often prevents people from investing in rental properties. From tenant screening to preparing lease documents, you’ll be busy. If you like the idea of having investment properties, but not running out to address emergencies on Thanksgiving night, consider hiring a property management company. Here are 5 ways property management makes renting your home easier.

1. Good property management can boost your investment property’s value

A good property management company makes sure your rental home is maintained to the highest standards. We use video on move-in and move-out to document the condition of the property. We frequently visit the property, inside and out, to check on the status of the landscaping and the inside of the home. This is an excellent way to ensure your property will be in high demand—well maintained properties not only get premium rents and short vacancy times, they make sure your investment property will fetch the highest price if you decide to sell.

2. Tenant screening provides the highest-quality tenants

Finding high-quality tenants can be hard. You have to sift through lots of applications and decide who looks the best, and you may end up just taking whoever applies to get your property filled – oftentimes a costly mistake in the long run. A good management company has expertise and years of experience in finding the best tenants, and knows how to filter candidates. With All Seasons, you can count on tenants that care for your property, pay on time, and are easy to work with.

3. Maintenance and repair assistance means no nighttime calls to you

Don’t want nighttime calls from tenants having plumbing problems? If you’re going it alone as landlord, the tenant will call you anytime they need something. But with a good property manager, all these calls go directly to the property management company, easing the stress that comes with being a landlord. All Seasons has vendors we work with every day that we count on to serve our tenants. So the tenants call us, and we get our vendors out there quickly.

4. Good marketing and insider knowledge avoids long vacancies

Even a month of vacancy can cause your investment property to lose money. A good property manager will work to ensure your home always has a tenant. All Seasons prides ourselves on our low vacancy rate—only 1% on average over the last year. We hit 0% vacancy rate nearly every year for the past 5 years at one point during the year, and we’ve kept a consistent vacancy rate below 2% on average for the past 5 years. We market your home online through websites and social media. We know the market, and how to reach it.

5. Experience with tenants lessens your chance of legal issues

A good property manager not only has experience with the problems that can arise between tenants and landlords, they will have lawyers on-call that specialize in this field.
