Many multi-unit property owners think that it’s in their best interest to manage their properties themselves, and they are thereby creating an unnecessary workload that could easily be avoided.
If you own one or more duplexes or multi-unit buildings, you generally have two top priorities: to make sure rental revenue is consistently coming in and to make sure each of your units is always rented by reliable tenants.
However, experienced property owners understand that these are a lot easier said than done.
So, how do you know if working with a property manager is the right move for you?
There are many factors to consider, including tenant placement, maintenance, rent collection, evictions, expenses, balancing cash flow, legal requirements, and tenant needs.
Here’s why it’s a great time to work with a reliable property management partner for your Colorado rentals.
Colorado is a Booming Market
The population of Colorado’s front-range urban areas—Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins—is currently booming, and condos and townhomes are the perfect environment for young millennials moving here. For the same reasons, it can also be a fantastic opportunity for investors seeking to own multiple properties.
A property management company such as ours is designed to take full advantage of such a boom.
What Every Landlord Should Know About Rental Property Insurance
Management Responsibilities Add Up Quickly
Given the considerable duties of condo or townhome multi-unit management, you should consider professional management to make sure all responsibilities are taken care of. Management companies see that utility bills are transferred to the tenants correctly based on what is not included with the homeowner’s association (HOA). They coordinate all interior maintenance (but not exterior), and make regular site visits to make sure units are being maintained.
Management also handles all tenant communication with the HOA, such as passing along community updates, HOA violations, and upcoming exterior maintenance. When it comes to conditions of the lease agreement such as the number of allowable tenants and pets, management regularly visits to make sure these are being adhered to.
Finally, it is up to management to process the security deposit to ensure the tenants return the unit to the owner at the end of a leasing term in the condition in which it was leased, normal wear and tear excepted.
