How to Decide Between Managing a Property Yourself or Using a Property Management Company
As one of the fastest growing areas in NC, the Research Triangle region offers the beauty of the country, the accessibility of the city, all at a price tag you can accept. Investing in the rental market in this area can offer attractive returns if you manage your new purchase well.

The Disadvantages of Managing Your Own Property
Did you strike gold with a recent property investment or are you planning on purchasing a property soon? If you did, you may have found yourself at a crossroads between managing the property on your own vs. hiring a property manager. Much of this decision will come down to how much time you have.
First, consider what property management entails:
- Rental agreements (including gathering monthly rent/deposits)
- 24/7 maintenance and repair needs
- Utilities
- Zone regulations
- HOA fees
- Marketing
- Tenant acquisition
- Tenant and vendor communications
- Eviction enforcement
- Move-in/move-out inspections and damage assessments
While self-management can save you money, property management will save you time and effort, ensuring sure things are resolved efficiently and professionally. Without a property management company, you become the point person for the day-to-day needs of your property. If you have never attempted self-management before, you may be surprised by the number of issues that will come your way daily.
