“Why Managing Your Own Rental Is Costing You More Than You Think”
1. The Hidden Costs of DIY Landlording
Managing a rental seems simple — until you realize how quickly little tasks pile up:
- Late-night calls and last-minute repairs
- Screening tenants who seemed great — but weren’t
- Coordinating vendors, chasing down receipts, filing evictions
All of it adds up — not just in time, but stress, missed workdays, and burnout.
2. You Could Be Losing Thousands Per Year
Self-managing landlords often:
- Underprice their rentals out of fear of vacancies
- Choose poor-fit tenants due to rushed screenings
- Delay repairs that lead to bigger expenses
With a strong management system, a single-family home in Erie can earn more — consistently — with less turnover and risk.
3. Property Managers Aren’t Just Rent Collectors
At NashDom Realty, we:
- Attract and screen top-tier tenants
- Handle maintenance fast using trusted vendors
- Collect rent securely and handle renewals for you
- Use tools like Rentvine so you and your tenants stay informed in real-time
And we do it all while keeping your long-term ROI as our top priority.
4. Your Time Is Worth More
Ask yourself: “How much is my time worth per hour?”
Now multiply that by the hours you’ve spent on your rental this month.
A property manager may cost 8–10% of the rent — but they save you 100% of the headaches.
