Why do real estate investors in San Antonio need property management?

One of the frustrations landlords have in common is thinking they will make a lot of money and instead end up pouring an enormous amount of time into managing their property. Landlords go through a trial and error process in getting the right tenants, for example, but it just eats up all their time.

There are things real estate investors who venture into home rentals do not even know themselves. There’s the city licensing laws, landlord-tenant laws, maintenance, and the appropriate contractors who will take care of things on a timely basis.

Tenant screening is a minefield. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or HUD is dealing with an increasing number of violations for discrimination with homeowners who do not know the fair housing laws,  the parameters involved in terms of dealing with people fairly.

The effort that you need to exert in order to advertise your home rentals in such a way that you invite the right people in, etc. etc.

It is highly essential for landlords to recognize what they do not know or need help with and to seek out the services from a professional property manager that can help you avoid these risks.

A property management company is the one that helps you earn more and do less of the work.

What does a property manager need to be?

You will be amazed by how much you can make more financially just by getting the service of a property manager.

A property manager needs to be professional. He or she needs to be able to make factual decisions, not emotional.

A property manager needs to know the laws. He or she should be updated and know the current market trends.

A property manager should be available all the time. He or she needs to know the answer to our tenant’s issues. If there is a storm in the middle of the time night and you’re out of town with your family, a property manager will take care of this for you and deal with the tenants concerns.

A property manager should know current market trends.They should know when to raise the rent, and which amenities should be replaced or are needed for your rental properties. If the current market trend is to get a dishwasher in every unit, we make sure every unit has one.

The property manager should have the names of the vendors that home owners work with. He or she knows who they are, has a great working relationship with them and most of the time, can get a lower cost of service that you may not be able to get.

A property manager should be able to bring down our client’s expenses. Materials are expensive. We can also take the labor cost down and take the time away that you would be spending trying to find an electrician, for example.

Also, I can’t tell you how important it is for a property manager to know how to screen applicants very well. You want to make sure you get quality people at your homes. They will be staying and taking care of your  homes in your absence. Owners should be nervous when they hear a property manager say references and background checks were not done.

A property manager knows how to complete quality accounting for your property. We are here to alleviate the stress in all aspects. We send out monthly statements, and do tax documentation at the end of the year. We track all the expenses coming in and going out and we should be able to communicate with you.

We find answers to your questions.
