Owner FAQs
Answers to your common questions
-
Am I required to make my property available to Section 8?
Property owners are not required to accept Section 8 tenants unless local ordinances mandate it; we’ll help you verify local rules and advise on how participation or non‑participation aligns with occupancy goals and long‑term asset value. -
Are you licensed?
Yes, we are a licensed property management company operating to industry standards; our licensing supports compliant leasing, maintenance, and financial reporting practices that protect owners and residents. -
Can I reach you after hours?
Yes. We provide an emergency contact for urgent issues and a triage process to resolve critical situations quickly; non‑urgent matters are handled during normal business hours with clear follow‑up communication. -
Can you put the money directly into my account?
Yes, owner disbursements are available via secure direct deposit so rental income reaches you promptly and with transparent accounting. -
Do I get to see the lease or sign it?
You can review every lease before it’s executed. We typically sign on the owner’s behalf to streamline leasing, but we will accommodate owners who prefer to sign personally. -
Do you sell real estate too?
Some of our partners offer brokerage services. If you’re considering buying or selling, we can connect you with trusted agents and coordinate transitions to protect property value. -
How and when do I get my checks?
Owner disbursements are issued on a regular schedule—typically monthly—after rent is collected and expenses are reconciled; funds are sent by direct deposit or check per your preference, with transparent statements detailing all transactions. -
How is rent collection handled?
We use modern payment platforms plus traditional methods to maximize on‑time payments, perform tenant screening up front, and enforce lease terms consistently; late payments are addressed promptly with an emphasis on resolution and minimizing vacancy. -
How long of a lease do you sign?
Standard leases are often 12 months, but we offer flexible term options to match market conditions and owner objectives; our leasing strategy focuses on balancing occupancy, rent optimization, and long‑term asset health. -
How much security deposit do you charge the tenant?
Security deposit amounts follow market standards and legal limits and are set based on rent level and tenant qualifications; we recommend deposit levels that protect the asset while remaining competitive. -
How soon can you start managing my property?
We can begin managing your property as soon as the management agreement is signed and the property is prepared for leasing; our onboarding focuses on clear communication, inspections, and a proactive plan to minimize vacancy. -
What type of properties do you manage?
We manage single‑family homes, multi‑family units, condos, and select commercial spaces, applying the same ownership mindset and resident‑centered care to protect and grow each asset. -
What type of reports do I get and how often?
Owners receive regular financial statements detailing rent collection, expenses, and maintenance activity; leasing updates are provided weekly and detailed financial reports are delivered monthly, with additional ad hoc reports available on request. -
Who holds the tenant security deposit?
Security deposits are held in a dedicated, compliant account as required by local law; we administer deposits transparently and return funds according to lease terms and jurisdictional rules. -
How is maintenance handled and who pays for repairs?
(Note: combined for clarity) We prioritize preventive maintenance to protect long‑term value, coordinate vetted vendors, and seek owner approval for larger repairs while handling routine maintenance within agreed thresholds; costs and approval limits are defined in the management agreement to keep decisions timely and transparent.
