Up Front - We offer a
free consultation with any owner to evaluate the following:
An appropriate rental price for your property in the
current market
What needs to be done to put your property into rent
ready condition
If any appliances should be added or removed from the
property
Accounting - One of the most difficult and time consuming aspects of
owning property is keeping adequate records for tax purposes and your own information. For
that reason we:
Maintain accurate and up-to-date records on a
state-of-the-art computer system and software that is a leader in the industry.
Make all necessary payments related to the property from
building utilities and ordinary maintenance to mortgage payments if desired.
Provide monthly statements detailing income and expenses
including copies of all checks drawn on owners accounts.
Prepare year-end statements for simplified tax
preparation and 1099 forms as required by law.
Managing Vacancies - The following minimizes the frequency and length of
vacancies by matching the housing needs and financial means of tenants with the
appropriate vacancy:
Advertise vacancies in multiple publication and on the
Internet, targeting particular demographics to suite the available property.
Screen all housing applicants using the three major
credit bureaus, a thorough check of personal and landlord references, employment
verification, and investigation of personal savings and checking accounts.
Due to our large inventory of housing units, we also have
access to the largest pool of prospective tenants. In many cases this allows us to have units filled with virtually no
lost rent.
Inspect property prior to move out and shortly after move
in to record the condition of property. This provides documentation for any repairs made out of security deposit funds.
Sign leases and addendum's that have been proven to
provide protection to the property owner.
Managing Occupied Units - We understand the financial and emotional
capital that you have invested in your property. We strive to protect your investment by:
Overseeing all maintenance and providing 24 hour emergency
services through our computerized paging system.
Periodically inspecting property for necessary
maintenance or preventative action. This also allows us to remain abreast of quality of
care given the property by tenants.
Retaining independent contractors to attend to all
ordinary maintenance and respond quickly to emergencies - both of which reduce the
long-term cost to the owner. (If you prefer, we can contact you directly or use contractors with which you already have
a relationship.)
Collecting rents in a timely manner and pursuing
delinquent tenants with a consistent collection policy.
Taking action on lease violations up to and including
legal action.
Screening out unnecessary work orders from tenants.
Maintaining a record of maintenance done
on the property with a computerized work order system. |
