No one\u2019s better qualified to set your rent and your team is going to have a lot more experience getting good tenants in there.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Steadier Income:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0First time landlords waste all kinds of time trying to figure out how to get the right people in there. Others spend years learning the ropes. Work with a good property manager and forget about it. They\u2019ll get people in and you\u2019ll see far fewer months with no income.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Better Investments: Guess what? Your property manager also knows what properties are coming on to the market, where and when.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Then you\u2019ll really see the projections because you\u2019re working with the people already invested and heavily involved with the entire market and the region. A good property manager will work with you to select the right investment properties for the right balance and the best returns.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Own More and Better Properties:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Suddenly, you\u2019re not only managing better, but you\u2019re able to re-invest more into places you could never visit regularly. They can be farther, or simply with more units. The only way to really scale up would be to literally start your own property management company. And why would you do that when you\u2019re already working with the best? \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Stay on Top:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> California is changing. And some of the biggest changes are with local and city level regulations and code changes. These can affect any property owner and they can vary tremendously from city to city. Only your truly multi-faceted property manager is going to stay on top of all of them \u2013 and they\u2019ll be happy to explain the ins and outs, even if you prefer to wash your hands of the entire thing. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Maintain everything with Better Contractors:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One of the key reasons for working with a good property manager is simply in the fact that their scale allows you to receive better and more affordable service, simply as a result of working with a bigger company. Property managers are not only running ads year round, they\u2019re also fixing concrete and running cables and replacing boilers or bringing water pumps up to code. They\u2019re doing it year round and they\u2019re always evaluating and updating the lists of the contractors and service providers they work with.
