Many rental property owners in Sacramento know right away that they want to work with a professional property manager. Others get started committed to handling everything themselves and then quickly find they do not have the time, expertise, or resources to effectively lease, manage, and maintain their rental properties.
The decision to hire a property manager depends on several factors, and understanding these can help you make the best choice for your property and your peace of mind.
We believe it’s always a good time to hire a property manager. Here’s when it’s absolutely essential.
Managing rental properties requires a significant amount of time, particularly if you own multiple units. It can quickly begin to feel like a full-time job. If you have other commitments, such as a career or family responsibilities, you may find it challenging to juggle all these tasks. Hiring a Sacramento property manager can free up your time. We can also create better time management within the framework of your rental, using our technology and our systems to operate your
rental property more efficiently.
Avoiding legal mistakes is essential and also difficult. It’s easier than you may think to make an expensive legal error.
Sacramento has specific laws and regulations that landlords must follow, especially when it comes to rent control, security deposits, and eviction procedures. We have strict fair housing laws and an implied warranty of habitability. Understanding and complying with these laws is crucial to avoid legal trouble. Navigating these regulations can be tricky for those unfamiliar with local laws. It’s time to hire a property manager who is well-versed in California's rental laws when you have a dispute with a resident, you’re not sure what language needs to be included in a lease agreement, or you believe it’s time to evict a nonpaying resident.
Maintenance and repairs are inevitable when managing a property in Sacramento. If you're a hands-on landlord, you may find yourself spending weekends fixing leaky faucets or dealing with emergency plumbing issues. Property managers like us often have established relationships with contractors, vendors, and maintenance staff, ensuring timely and cost-effective repairs. We can also
handle routine inspections to catch potential problems early before they become major issues.
We also have the benefit of enjoying better rates due to the volume of business we can provide to vendors and contractors.
It’s time to work with a management company if you’re feeling stressed out.
Managing rental properties can be difficult, particularly if problems arise with residents or maintenance. If you're constantly dealing with resident complaints, late rent payments, or unexpected repairs, it can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. Your property manager will act as a buffer between you and your residents, handling difficult situations and reducing stress.
Deciding when to hire a property manager ultimately depends on your personal circumstances, experience, and the time you're willing to invest in managing your property.
