The thought of potentially saving money which a property management firm will charge for their services is a tempting one indeed. With almost every
investment property owner this idea is given consideration due to the misconception of the expenses verses the work performed.
The Pitfalls - Bear in mind that when managing and renting your property unassisted by a licensed professional,
you assume the responsibility for compliance with all of the conditions of habitability, disclosures, tax reporting, maintaining property value, screening
applicants, dealing with legalities and timing for eviction of a bad or non-paying tenant, showing vacancies (and being stood up), and being available 24/7
for complaints and repairs.
Screening Prospects - Few owners have the ability to sort out the lookers from the viable, qualified applicants. Screening
prospects takes a trained person, asking pertinent questions, to eliminate frivolous inquiries, to verify credit worthiness as well as prior rental history and
determine the fake vs the true information. We contract with The Landlord Protection Agency, who gives us the industry's best results-based statistical scoring model.
Included are substantial landlord-tenant records and access to an exclusive database of lease performance histories reported by property managers, nationwide, as well
as felony, misdemeanor and sex offender public records at multi-state and/or county levels in all categories - crimes against persons, crimes against property and
crimes against society.
Because bad guys are not always this easy to spot!
Notices - When a good tenant goes bad, do you know how to serve notices for non-payment? Or, if there are other reasons to
evict, do you know the procedure so the eviction won't be delayed time and again, or worse, dismissed?
Should there be signs of criminal activity, what would you do? Will the Notice you serve hold up in court? Will your rental agreement be deemed void, or your Notice be improperly completed or served? Can you collect on past-due accounts, or for damages after the tenant is out of work, and out of state?
Executive Home Rentals has the right answers to all these questions, and more. What about tenants in homes being foreclosed on? What are their rights? What are the
Owner's responsibilities to the tenants?
Because property management is our primary business, we are able to eliminate the customary headaches you may experience when trying to manage your own property.
At Executive Home Rentals, our experience, time-tested policies and procedures, and our iron-clad Lease Agreement, puts you in control while we carefully represent
your best interests in a professional, very capable and "hands-on" manner. We thoroughly screen prospective tenants, ensure that the integrity of your real estate is
maintained, collect rents in a timely manner, and relieve you of the time-consuming burdens of tenant complaints, repairs or filling vacancies. We'll manage your property
the way you would want to, if you only had the time and expertise.
