Is it worth getting a Property Manager?
If you own an investment property, you know how time-consuming managing it can be.
What is your time worth, and do you know enough to protect you and your property?
Choosing to hand over the day-to-day responsibility to a licenced Property Manager can make life a lot easier, reduce your vacancy rate and increase your rental return.
Did you know there are 2730 pages of legislation in the Residential Tenancies Act that Property Managers need to be familiar with?
Property Managers attend regular training and professional development and stay up to date with changing legislation that may affect your investment.
Property Managers handle marketing your property, sourcing your tenants and managing every aspect of the property on your behalf.
