Are you thinking about hiring a property manager to manage your condo for rent in Ventura?…

Are you thinking about hiring a property manager to manage your condo for rent in Ventura? If so, here are several questions that you should ask a property management company before hiring them.

Question #1 – How Long Have You been A Property Manager

This question is important to ask. Many property management companies have started recently, and you want to hire a property manager who has the experience to professionally manage your condo or portfolio of rental properties.

Question #2 – How Many Rentals Are You Currently Managing?

The answer to this question will provide you with clues as to the depth of their organization and if their company has the staff to successfully manage multiple properties or not.

Question #3 – Are You Also an Active Real Estate Investor?

Although some property managers are not active real estate investors, having a property manager who is also an active investor will give you confidence that you’re dealing with someone who understands what you’re dealing with as an investor and will do everything possible to get the most ROI from your rental properties. 

Question #4 – How Many Team Members Do You Have?

You want to work with a property management company that has multiple team members who specifically focus on individual tasks like rent collection, tenant placement, marketing, and maintenance.

Question #5 – What Is Your Definition Of “Rent Ready”?

This question is also very important to ask. It will give you a real clue as to the lengths that they will go through to get your rental property ready for rent or if they are going to cut corners just to get your property occupied.
