One of the biggest decisions you’ll make as a landlord is whether you should hire a property management company. Many landlords manage properties on their own or with the help of an employee, such as a resident manager. But sometimes landlords need more help, and that’s when a property management company might make sense.
What Does A&S Consulting Property Management Do?
A&S Consulting deals directly with prospects and tenants, saving you time and worry over marketing your rentals, collecting rent, handling maintenance and repair issues, responding to tenant complaints, and even pursuing evictions. Plus, A&S Consulting brings its know-how and experience to your property, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your investment is in good hands. Finally, A&S Consulting is an independent contractor, so you avoid the hassles of being an employer.
When Should You Hire A&S Consulting for your property management?
You should consider hiring A&S Consulting if:
You have lots of properties or rental units. The more rental properties you own and the more units they contain, the more you’re likely to benefit from A&S Consulting Property Management.
You don’t live near your rental property. If your rental property is located far from where you live, hiring A&S Consulting can be invaluable in dealing with the many issues that you will not be able to handle from afar.
You’re not interested in hands-on management. Many landlords look forward to the challenge of finding good tenants and the rewards of maintaining a safe and attractive property on their own. But if you view rental property ownership strictly as an investment and want little or nothing to do with the day-to-day management of your properties, consider hiring A&S Consulting to help to manage your property.
Your time is limited. Even if you enjoy hands-on management, you may not have much time to devote to your business, especially if landlording isn’t your day job. And if you prefer to spend your time growing your business, including searching for new properties, arranging financing for renovations, or changing your business structure, then A&S Consulting may be a good way to spend your money.
You’re suddenly inundated with management tasks. If your business is growing, at some point you may find that you need a substrantial amount of help to manage everything properly. At that point, it might make sense to hire A&S Consulting.
You don’t want to be an employer. If you hire a resident manager or other employees to help with your property, you become an employer. You’ll have to handle payroll and deal with a host of other legal requirements and considerations. But, because A&S Consulting isn’t your employee (it’s an independent contractor), and neither are the people who work for the company, by using one you avoid the hassles of being an employer.
Your property is part of an affordable housing program. If you participate in an affordable housing program, things can get complicated. Usually, in these programs the landlord receives financial assistance, which may be in the form of a grant, low-interest loan, or tax credits, in return for agreeing to rent at least part of the property to tenants earning below a certain income level. In order to continue receiving the assistance, the landlord must comply with a complicated set of rules. With so much at stake, it’s often worth hiring A&S Consulting with expertise and experience with the particular housing program in question.
