Attracting Good Tenants

Very careful consideration is used when marketing and placing the tenant for your property. We use a wide variety of sources to expose your property to the most people looking to rent a home. Some sources used are: the Internet, newspaper advertising, signs, real estate agents in the area, etc. All tenants are required to go through a "tenant orientation". This generally takes 45 minutes to 1 hour while we review the rental contract. All move-ins are done with the tenant so any questions are addressed at that point in time.

Inspections

Our initial walk-through inspection is extremely thorough. Each item in each room is addressed as to the condition and the cleanliness of it. Tenants are required to sign-off on the inspection report before they are allowed to move in. We regularly drive-by your property and are quick to notify tenants if something needs attention. Once a year, we schedule a physical walk-through and report to you the overall condition and make recommendations if needed.

Income

All rents are sent to our company. We process these and send you your check once a month along with your owner statements.

Rental Contracts

Our rental contracts are very thorough and complete with several addendums. We prepare these for you and cover all policies and procedures with tenants. All rents are processed through the company’s trust account. Our rental policies are strictly enforced with 3-day notices sent after the 5th day of the month at the discretion of the property manager.  Should the rent fall into arrears, we will begin and supervise any eviction proceedings.

Expenses

Most of our owners prefer us to handle any repairs and any routine work required on the property. We are pleased to do this for you. We have many qualified independent people that we use to handle the job needed. We do not hire people and put them on staff as a general rule. Any savings that we are able to negotiate on your behalf are passed along to you dollar for dollar. Because we use these services in volume, we are often able to negotiate a discounted rate. Our management fees are a tax deduction and we are always willing to discuss them with you.

Mortgage Payments and Bank Deposits

If you request it, we will make your monthly mortgage payment or deposit directly into your bank. These services are available to you at no extra charge.
