How soon will your property management services begin?
We will be ready to manage your property within the first 24 hours after signing the contract.
How long does it typically take to find tenants for a property?
Our goal is to find suitable tenants as soon as possible. In order to do this, we use various advertising platforms. We use state-of-the-art marketing platforms such as MLS, Zillow, and Trulia and use the highest quality professional photos to market your property!
Why do you ask tenants for an application fee?
Tenants need to pay the application fee. We use this fee to enable credit checks.
How is the rent for my property determined?
We'll use practical tools and result-oriented strategies to determine the proper rent. Among other practices, we conduct deep research and market comparisons. All the gathered knowledge allows us to create highly competitive rent prices.
How is rent collected?
We have different payment methods, including but not limited to, mail and online but we highly suggest our tenants pay by direct deposit.
I prefer to receive direct deposits as well. Is it possible?
Yes, we can agree to make direct deposits to your preferred bank account.
Do you conduct tenant screening?
Yes, we screen all the prospective tenants. The screening process covers a variety of tests. These include criminal history, credit checks, and employment verification. The criteria have been chosen to lower the risk of admitting problematic tenants.
Is it possible for me to keep my current insurance?
Please check with your insurer to make sure that you keep the coverage. Before starting to manage, we need to see proof of your insurance. Your insurance won't cover the tenants' personal belongings. We offer renters insurance options for our tenants to cover personal belongings and suggest that they obtain coverage. This greatly helps to solve emergency issues.
What steps does a tenant have to take before moving in?
First, your tenant needs to successfully get through the screening process. When that goes well, they are obligated to pay the full security deposit then, are sent the lease agreement. They need to read through the legal document and agree with all the terms. We are always available to the tenant to answer any questions regarding the lease.
Sometimes there are extra fees to the tenant. In this case, they need to settle all of these things when signing the agreement.
How does the lease termination process work for a tenant?
When your tenant moves out, and provides a 30-day notice to vacate, we inspect the property's condition thoroughly. They will get the approval along with the returned security deposit. That holds only true if there are no damages found.
What types of inspections do you perform?
We do move-in and move-out inspections. As per your request, we can do an unlimited amount of drive-by inspections and also conduct interior inspections. This way you can ensure the property remains in good condition.
How do you organize utility payments and responsibilities?
When tenants move into your property, all tenant utilities will be in their name. Some types of utilities could be catered for by the properties if the owner prefers. For example, trash collection or water. All the owner's utilities stay attached to their name. These utilities get submitted to the office for payment. Of course, your regular cash flow statement includes the utilities.
What happens if a tenant fails to pay rent on time?
Our lease agreements contain strict rules about rent payment delays and failures. Tenants have to quickly pay the late fees after receiving the notice. Continuing to default on payments results in eviction.
What is your property damage policy?
We will repair all damage using our licensed and professional partners. Before the repairs begin, we'll inform you about the details. When we get your permission, we'll begin the work at the earliest moment possible. All maintenance and unexpected repairs are done using high-quality vendors at their best price.
Can I access reports on my property?
You can access a multitude of reports when you use our owner portal. These reports include regular statements for income and expenses.
Do you recommend renting to smokers or pet owners?
Allowing pets and smokers isn't something you would be obliged to do. When it comes to pets, you should keep in mind that being too strict could cost you a considerable amount of prospects.
We forbid smoking in all the rental properties. If we find evidence of smoking, then the tenants have to pay for any relevant damages.
Does hiring a property manager mean losing all control of my rental property?
No, property management means that you can still have a say in every decision that is made. Also, you can choose the level of how much you want to be involved in smaller-scale choices.
