Many first-time real estate investors assume that after they hire a property manager, most of the work will be done for them, and they can take on a passive role.
In truth, there is still work involved in handling your investments, including managing your property manager. Here are some tips for a successful relationship.
- Choose the right property manager to begin with. It all starts with the selection process. Property managers differ in terms of their services, level of involvement, reporting, pricing, and more. Ask a lot of questions during the comparison process so you can find the property manager that will be the most suitable fit for your needs.
- Establish your expectations. Working with a property manager will be much easier if you establish clear expectations on both ends at the outset. If you skip this step, the property manager will not have a strong understanding of your needs, and may not meet them effectively.
- Request regular reports. Your property manager can provide you with monthly reports on accounts payable, rent collections, profit and loss, costs, timetables and schedules, and more. Request these reports, check them diligently, and contact the property manager with any questions that arise.
- Decide how to organize your finances. You will need to come up with a way of structuring your accounts that permits the access levels you are comfortable with for you and your property manager.
- Find the best options to communicate. Finally, the key to any strong business relationship is excellent communication. With a property manager, it is even more essential. Work with the property manager to choose methods of communication that are convenient for you, and times and days that work for scheduling in-depth conversations when they are necessary.
