Owner Questions

As a property owner client when can I expect to see my payout ?
Payouts should arrive in your bank account, if you signed up for direct deposit, on or before the 15th of each month.

As new property management client when will I receive my first payment?
It depends to a large degree on what day of the month in which your home is leased. All funds received and paid out between the first and last day of the month should be available in your bank account, assuming you signed up for direct deposit, before the 15th day of the following month.

Do I have to maintain communications with the tenant ever?
No, We will not give the tenant access to your contact info. We discourage any contact with tenants as often times it makes our duties difficult to complete.

Do you pay our mortgage, insurance and property taxes?
No, we do not provide this service. We will however pay all other expenses.

Do you require tenants to carry renters insurance?
Yes, we require tenants to carry insurance and name us as an additional insured.

Do you require us to name the management company as an additional insured on our insurance policy?
Yes. Your agent provides this service at no charge. We may also request this from your agent as well.

Does my tenant have online access to their account?
Yes all tenants are given a username and password and are able to go to our website and log on in the website under “Tenant Login”. All tenants are able to pay rent through our online portal. This is available 24/7 365 days a year.

How are fees deducted from an owner’s account?
All funds received and paid out between the first and last day of the month should be available in your bank account, assuming you signed up for direct deposit, before the 15th day of the following month. Accordingly, all the proceeds you receive will be for the previous month. Assuming a tenant pays their rent on time, you will receive the rent payment, minus the monthly maintenance fee and any other expenses that were incurred during the month, by the 14th day of the following month. Please note that if a tenant pays their rent on the first and pays the next month’s rent early, on the 30th of the same month for example, owners will receive a double rent payment for the month. If this occurs, owners will not receive a payout during the next month because they already received the payout during the previous month – unless the tenant continues to pay their rent early.

How are tenants selected?
Our background check is thorough and comprehensive to ensure we select quality tenants.  We carefully screen each prospective tenant application and verify rental history, employment, and obtain a report which includes credit, evictions and criminal history. We then apply the reports to our general application policies.

What is typically involved in preparing a property to be rented?
You should expect to make the property move-in ready for a tenant. Your property will rent quicker and demand a higher rental value if it is in good, clean condition.

Who does the tenant call for maintenance requests?
The tenant will contact us on all matters. We will make a determination of the request and make a plan of action to restore the problem to protect your asset.
