Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from property owners considering our management services.

What is your typical tenant placement timeline?
Most properties are leased within 7-14 days of listing. We optimize pricing and marketing channels to ensure high visibility, and our rigorous screening process usually completes within 48-72 hours of receiving applications.
How do you handle maintenance emergencies outside business hours?
Our Premium and Portfolio packages include 24/7 emergency dispatch. We maintain a vetted network of licensed contractors who respond within 2-4 hours for urgent issues like plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, or security concerns. All costs over $100 require your digital approval unless safety is at risk.
What happens if a tenant stops paying rent?
We issue immediate late fee notices and begin formal eviction proceedings within 3-5 days of non-payment, depending on local jurisdiction requirements. You maintain full visibility through our portal, and we coordinate directly with attorneys to minimize vacancy periods and recover unpaid balances.
Can I manage multiple properties under one agreement?
Yes. Our Portfolio package is specifically designed for owners with 10+ units. You'll benefit from volume discounts, consolidated reporting, a dedicated account manager, and priority service routing across all your assets.
How transparent are your financial reports?
Every owner receives a detailed monthly statement within 7 days of month-end, including rent collected, expenses paid, vendor invoices, maintenance receipts, and year-to-date performance metrics. All documents are accessible instantly in the Owner Portal and formatted for tax preparation.
