  • Q: Do I get to see the lease or sign it?

  • Q: Do you sell real estate too?

  • Q: How is rent collection handled?

    A: Rent is due on the 1st of each month and we give our tenants a 3 day grace period. Our tenants have the option to pay their rent by electronic transfer, credit card, check or money order. Late rent payments are not tolerated and incur a late fee and could make the tenant subject to eviction proceedings.
  • Q: How long of a lease do you sign?

    A: We typically sign a 1 year lease agreement when a tenant moves in. After the first year, we will either do a 1 year extension or allow the tenant to go month-to-month.

    A: The security deposit is usually equal to one month’s rent.
  • Q: How soon can you start managing my property?

    A: We can start managing your property as soon as you are ready.
  • Q: What type of properties do you manage?

    A: We manage all types of residential properties including single family homes, condo’s, townhouses and small apartment building (15 units or less).
  • Q: What type of reports do I get and how often?

    A: We will send you a monthly owner statement which details all financial transactions on your property during the month. We can also include more detailed reports like Cash Flow, Comparative Income Statements, Balance Sheets and many more. Just let us know what you need and we will send it.
  • Q: Who holds the tenant security deposit?

    A: We generally hold the security deposit because it is easier for most of our owners when it comes time to return the deposit. Although, if you prefer to hold it, we can accommodate that as well.
