Make A Commitment to Quality and Efficiency

Many landlords in San Diego start as hands-on managers. They will do the repair work, personally collect rent, and manage the leases. It is possible to be a one-person army when there are only one or two rental units. Time becomes an issue as a real estate portfolio expands. A property owner cannot and should not try to do everything alone.



Human Error Creeps In

The taxman cometh and ordinarily arrives during the first part of the year. Landlords in San Diego who have properties in various municipalities must file taxes in several jurisdictions. Each may have different requirements, and all expect accuracy. Manually prepared tax reports can have human errors. The same is true with financial statements required to apply for loans. Calculation mistakes are frowned on by lending institutions.

Quality Suffers as Landlords Go Solo

Tenants want service as fast as possible. A leaking toilet is something nobody wants. The same is true for roofs that drip water. A property owner needs to respond quickly but doing repairs as a DIY project means trying to address several situations at the same time. A landlord might not have a relationship with reputable construction contractors. Needing to get the work done, that property owner might hire an unethical contractor who will pad the final invoice and not do all the work required.

Lease Management Requires Diplomacy

A lease is a contract between the tenant and the landlord. It spells out obligations and what needs to be done in given situations. Most tenants do not have a problem, but some, unfortunately, are not concerned about following the rules. A landlord must be careful and not lose his or her temper in dealing with these less than wonderful residents.

Selecting a tenant to fill a vacancy can be a tense situation. There are laws against discriminatory housing in California, and a landlord must understand what is required. This mistake can end up with severe trouble.

A Third Party Can Help

A property owner has the best of intentions. This person does not want to be unfair and wants to have efficient management of the rental properties. The difficulty arises when there are not enough hours in the day to deal with the administration and the problems that surface. Any landlord who wants to expand his or her real estate portfolio must be willing to bring in outside help.

This assistance comes from one of the property management companies in San Diego. These are professionals who deal with rental properties daily. The best ones also help with financial reporting and do everything to increase the value of those properties they supervise.
