Recent data shows that apartment rents are soaring in Nashville. In the last year, they have increased by 29%.
It's an excellent time to have a Nashville investment property and profit from rental income. While the market conditions appear bright, managing your rental property could prove stressful.
From collecting rent to background checks to evictions and handling tenant complaints, it can sound like more than you wished you had bargained for.
You don't have to be up at night worrying over all the finite details, though. It pays to get help from a professional property manager. Here is why.
Complete Property Inspections
You want your rental property to be kept in the best condition to maximize your investment. When the market is hot again, you will want to capitalize on a home sale spike in price. A professional property manager will always inspect your rental property when a tenant moves out.
Further, if repair is necessary, a property management company will take care of this too. They can handle annual safety inspections. Another excellent benefit is that they will document each visit and review, so you have detailed notes to reference.
24-Hour Support
Without a property manager, taking late-night, emergency phone calls from tenants can be draining. You can focus on other things, like your family and day job when you leave 24-support to property management. Plus, you will have happy tenants.
Although, you may need 24-hour support too. It could help market your vacant rental property, repair damage, etc. No matter the issue, you can feel confident that you will have the help you need as you need it, and fast!
Screening Qualified Tenants
Finding the best tenant can be a cumbersome process. The longer it takes to fill, the more you will miss out on rental income. You don't have to worry when a property manager is doing the marketing.
Applicants will arrive quickly, but they need to be screened. The property management company will do this too. This process can also be overwhelming when you are not an expert.
Many laws govern the screening process, and property management will adhere to local, state, and federal laws. They will ensure you have a tenant who pays timely, does not engage in unlawful activities, and keeps your property in tip-top shape.
Property Maintenance
Hiring a handyman who can care for everything when it gets damaged, or breaks is challenging. You can find someone good at a few things but not experienced and licensed in all things. Beyond that, some maintenance concerns, like enhancing curb appeal, can wait, but others require immediate attention.
For all things big, small, and an emergency, an experienced property manager covers you with their vast network.
