We Understand The Headaches Of Being A Landlord

Investing in rental property is one of the best wealth-building pathways for Australians, but it can also be daunting. Dealing with property managers reduces risk, but it also means that you won't get to be as hands-on with your investment

Self-management, however, means legal compliance, tenant communications, and financial record-keeping, and can be a minefield.

What if there were a way to enjoy the benefits of both approaches, with none of the downsides?

At Rent Managed, we offer a unique solution for DIY investors: You keep the control and cost-saving benefits of self-management, while we provide the professional support needed to stay compliant and stress-free.

Basically, we handle the technicalities, you enjoy the returns on your investment.

Self-Managed Property Management

Catches Out More Than You’d Think

The appeal of managing your own rental property is obvious. No one likes a middleman and the costs and loss of control that comes with that.

However, time and time again we’ve spoke to people that have gone down the DIY route, only for it to become a disaster. Self-managed property catches investors out for so many reasons:

Unfamiliarity with Laws

If you’re not well-versed in residential tenancy laws then not only can your property become a source of anxiety about making a costly mistake… it can turn your property into a legal liability, too.

Where to

Start

Without a clear roadmap, many landlords struggle with where to begin. The first step can feel overwhelming and can result in you spending money that you don’t need to.

Leasing Vacant Property

Finding and screening tenants can be tricky. Many investors aren’t sure how to advertise their property effectively or conduct thorough background checks.

Record

Keeping

While landlords may start out diligently maintaining rental records, busy schedules or complacency often lead to falling behind, leaving them unprepared at tax time or when a dispute arises.

Remaining

Arms-Length

Managing the personal relationship with tenants while also enforcing rent collection can be awkward, especially when it comes to uncomfortable conversations about late payments.

Market

Knowledge

For investors who own properties outside their local area, a lack of market insight and the ability to be “on the ground” in the area can lead to poor decisions.

Managing While on Holiday

The last thing you want to be doing is stressing you’re your rental property while away on a holiday, work trips, or dealing with a personal emergency. When self-managing a property, your responsibilities don’t go away just because you don’t want to be available for a while.

So while it might sound like a great idea to get rid of the property manager, these risks all explain why so many property managers hold on to their jobs.

That’s why we saw an opportunity to disrupt the way things are done, by finding the middle ground. Enter Rent Managed.
