Managing a Rental Property in Bellevue, WA

While there are many things to take into consideration if you are considering purchasing a property to rent in the Bellevue area, here are just a few:

• Will you actually make money owning and renting the property in question?
• Is owning a rental property part of your short-term or long-term investment strategy?
• What are the tax advantages associated with owning a property of this type?

Properly Assess Your Landlord Skills

A few of the duties that a landlord in Bellevue must take care of include: Marketing and showing the rental property, screening and choosing tenants, understanding all the laws, collecting rent payments, enforcing the lease, managing maintenance requests, and providing 24-hour emergency service.

Keep in mind that property management is a lifestyle decision, which can be like adding a part-time job in your life. In the end, many landlords choose to work with a Bellevue property management company instead of taking on all of the property management responsibilities of their Bellevue rental themselves.

When you take into account the liability protection, potential for a higher rent amount, and lower vacancy rate, often times a professional property management company can be less expensive than self-management. While initially, it might seem to make sense to manage your own rental property, you may find that the trouble is just not worth the amount of money saved.

SJA Property Management understands the time and effort needed to successfully manage your Bellevue rental property and will work with you to maximize your income and minimize the risk related to owning your Bellevue rental property.
