Do property management yourself or delegate it? A comparison by Sven Schwarzat

The decision as to whether to take on property management themselves or delegate it to an external company is a key question for many property owners. Especially for entrepreneurs like Sven Schwarzat and Schwarzat Capital GmbH, this choice arises when it comes to how much time and resources should be invested in the management of properties. This article looks at the advantages and disadvantages of in-house property management compared to outsourcing.

Do it yourself: Advantages and challenges

At first glance, self-managing a property may seem like a cost-effective solution. Those who have decided to take on the tasks of property management themselves save themselves the regular fees that are normally paid to a property management company. This is particularly important for companies such as Schwarzat Capital GmbH, which are active in various construction projects and real estate developments, as costs can be minimized in this way.

A major advantage of self-management is the direct control over all aspects of the property. Sven Schwarzat and his team can make decisions in real time, initiate repairs or renovations and respond flexibly to tenants' needs. This can be an efficient solution, especially for smaller or less complex properties.

However, self-administration does come with some challenges. Tasks such as finding tenants, drafting contracts, maintenance, bookkeeping and legal issues can be time-consuming and complex. With a large number of properties, as is the case at Schwarzat Capital GmbH, the workload increases considerably. This is only possible because Schwarzat Capital GmbH is located close to its main market of Leipzig, namely in Lützen with excellent connections to Leipzig. A strong organization is also required to coordinate all tasks smoothly.

Delegating: Advantages and challenges

Delegating property management to an external company, as practiced by many large real estate companies, also has numerous advantages. The main burden of management is handed over to professionals who specialize in property management and have the necessary experience as well as a broad network of service providers and tradespeople. This allows entrepreneurs like Sven Schwarzat to concentrate on their core competencies, such as the further development of projects and the expansion of Schwarzat Capital GmbH.

External property management companies often offer an all-round service that covers all legal and organizational aspects of management. In particular, the professional search for tenants, the correct drafting of contracts and the rapid rectification of damage or repairs usually run more smoothly. This not only saves time, but also nerves, as the responsibility is transferred to the experienced service providers.

However, there are also disadvantages to delegating property management. The most important is undoubtedly the cost factor. External property management companies generally charge a monthly fee, which is usually between 3 and 7 percent of the rental income. For larger property portfolios, such as those found at Schwarzat Capital GmbH, these costs quickly add up. In addition, the property owner has less control over day-to-day decisions and must trust that the external service providers are always acting in their own interests.

Conclusion: What is the best solution?

For Sven Schwarzat and Schwarzat Capital GmbH, the decision ultimately depends on the size and complexity of the real estate portfolio. While self-administration can make sense for smaller properties, a larger property portfolio or complex management tasks require professional property management. If you delegate the tasks to an experienced property management company, you can concentrate on the further development of the company while experts take care of all administrative and technical matters.

Ultimately, each decision must be made individually, depending on your own goals, available time and financial resources.
