Property management: How can these professionals aid investment success?

By Andrew Bell

Purchasing investment property is a great way to build wealth in this day and age. With the impending population boom heading towards Australia coupled with the low interest rate landscape across the nation, taking out a home loan and purchasing investment real estate in Surfers Paradise has never been a more attractive prospect. Creating a diverse portfolio is the key to success, which means diversifying your property choices and investigating potentially lucrative real estate markets.

However, adopting the lifestyle of a landlord and taking on the expected responsibilities of this career can be jarring and unexpected, especially for those without previous experience owning real estate in Australia. But don’t think that purchasing investments is off the table for you. There is a wide range of different options available to you – with one of the best being the services of a property manager.

What is a property manager?

There are a number of different real estate professionals across the industry, but property managers are arguably the most important for inexperienced property investors. Enlisting the services of a property manager will give you a surrogate landlord to take over the running of your real estate, giving you the freedom to continue pursuing your own interests while reaping in the rewards of a growing investment profit.

Acting as a medium between you and your tenants, your property manager has the experience of running successful investment portfolios. You can have as much involvement as you want, while allowing the property manager to make the brunt of the day-to-day decisions about the dwelling. This is a fantastic services for inexperienced landlords or those with large investment portfolios that they can’t look after themselves.

How can a property manager help you?

Property managers assume control of a lot of different aspects of your investment property portfolio. For example, one of the best benefits is the ability to secure higher quality tenants. Given their experience in the industry, property mangers will often assume the role of interviewer and look into the potential tenants interested in moving into your property.

Following this, they will create a shortlist of the best potential tenants and run them by you before selecting the best one possible, ensuring you get a reliable tenant who can pay their rent in full and on time without fail. After all, getting the wrong tenant is an huge waste of time and can be a stressful experience – but avoiding all this is a great way to approach investment portfolio success.

Furthermore, your property manager will take care of rent collection and deal with any complications that arise with your tenants. They will assume control of running the property, which includes taking care of any problems that arise. Dealing with broken fixtures or utility bills falls squarely on their lap, helping you carry on with life without getting bogged down by undue stress. With their experience in the industry, they can take care of the day-to-day running of your investment with professionalism and expertise.

Having this type of service for your tenants could also help increase how long they decide to stay in your property, increasing your tenancy retention rates and keeping your portfolio as profitable as possible.

Property managers are also experts on tenancy law. This is a useful skill to have when it comes to running an investment portfolio. Being able to ensure you and your tenants are both being looked after within the confines of the law is great for equality, while also helping you avoid complicated lawsuits due to ignorance of the law.

There are a number of benefits to hiring a property manager for your Surfers Paradise investment property. Get in contact with a real estate expert today to discuss the options available you today.
