Managing a corporate or tenant housing property can be a complex endeavor, especially if you’re attempting to juggle the responsibilities yourself. While self-management may seem like a cost-saving strategy, the advantages of enlisting a professional property management service like iHost Property Management far outweigh the challenges of going it alone. Here’s a high-level overview of why choosing iHost Property Management is a game changer for your rental property.
Understanding the Financials: Homeowner Responsibilities
Whether you choose to self-manage or partner with a property management company, certain expenses remain the homeowner’s responsibility. This includes mortgage payments, home insurance, property taxes, compliance fees, and utility bills. Costs related to property upkeep, like emergency repairs and appliance replacements, also fall on the property owner. Even marketing and listing fees on paid platforms come out of the homeowner’s pocket. While these expenses are standard, having a property management partner ensures they are managed efficiently to optimize your returns.
