Why Property Management And What Do They Do?

Property management is well worth the small tax-deductible fee as it will free you of the stress and headaches of being a landlord. The managers will provide 24-hour care for your property, so that you will not get a call at 2 a.m. about a plugged toilet.

On average our property management companies offer our investors a discounted fee of 5 - 8% of the gross rents.

The benefits of property managers:

• Finding A Renter and Advertising
• Screening Tenants (background & credit checks)
• Leasing Agreements
• Collection Of Rents And Deposits
• Providing The Owner Monthly Statements With Rent Monies
• Maintenance And Care For Your Property

* We strongly suggest that you do not manage your own properties, unless they are near your home and you know the landlord laws of that state.
** There may be additional fees for some of these services. Prices and rates are subject to change.
