Hiring the wrong property manager can cost you thousands in poor tenant placement, repair issues, and compliance problems. Before signing any agreement, here are five things every owner should ask.
1. Verify Licensing and Local Experience
Make sure your property manager is properly licensed in Nevada and actively managing properties in Las Vegas. Experience with Nevada landlord-tenant laws matters.
2. Ask If Their Management Fee Increases Over Time
Some companies start with an attractive rate but raise it over the years or add additional administrative charges. Ask directly:
Will my management fee remain the same, or can it increase?
Long-term consistency matters when calculating ROI.
3. Understand Their Tenant Screening Process
Ask how tenants are screened. Do they use professional screening software? Do they follow consistent scoring criteria? A structured screening system protects your investment.
4. Clarify Repair Approval Policies
How are repairs handled? Is there a spending cap? Will you be contacted for approval? Clear repair protocols prevent surprise invoices.
5. Ask About Communication — Including Nights and Weekends
When issues arise, will your property manager answer the phone?
Are they available evenings and weekends?
Or does everything wait until Monday?
Delays in communication can quickly turn small issues into major expenses. Reliable availability matters.
