| Q- Why should I use a property
manager?
A- First and foremost, it keeps you
from being personally involve. A lot of landlords try to give
a tenant a break because of emotional involvement but it only hurts
the landlord. Second, there are many state and Federal laws
governing how applicants/tenants must be treated and more time than
not the "do it yourself landlord" do not adhere to them, thus
exposing themselves to potential claims down the road.
Q- How much does it cost?
A- Well since my competitors are
reading to, not much and in some cases as little as $100 a month.
Q- What is Registry Screen?
A- Registry Screen is a
database/derivative that profiles a tenant. While credit is a
big part it is not the only part. You can have someone with
good credit but the are bad tenants. Registry Screen also
checks for criminal convictions, past tenant behavior and Terrorist
Watch List among others. It is a very comprehensive profile.
Q- How often do you inspect a property?
A- Once every 6 months.
Q- What repairs do I have to make?
A- That depends on the lease, our lease
makes you responsible for major items provided it is not due to the
tenants misuse or abuse. The lease also sets out items that
the tenant must keep in good repair and in addition requires the
tenant to service some systems.
Q- How do you pay for the repair?
A- When you execute your management
agreement you will place a small sum in our operating account.
Once a repair is deemed necessary, we will contact you with the
estimate and you authorize it, we then will pay it out of that
account.
Q- How do I pay you?
A- We just debit the rent that we
collect for you and sent you the rest.
Q- How do I get my rent?
A- Every month we will send you a
statement of rent and charges.
Q- What are your qualifications?
A- I have managed properties since 1995
and have my Professional Property Manager certification.
