As an owner of rental property, you already know that property management is a big part of being a landlord. It takes time, patience, and continual upkeep to keep your rental running smoothly and producing cash flow. In short, it can be a real hassle. If you’ve used property management companies in the past, then you’ll know they’re all not the same. Whether you own just a single rental property, or own many, professional property management is the key to increasing the value of your portfolio and increasing your bottom line.
Rush Realty Limited offers complete property management services from single-family homes and multi-family apartment complexes to retail shopping centers, and common-area management where there is no HOA. We will take on all those time-consuming and frustrating tasks that can make owning investment property a headache. We’ll market and advertise your property, screen for responsible, qualified tenants and then manage both the day-to-day and emergency operations of your investment property. We’ll also provide you regular feedback about improvements we recommend that will add value to your property.
Here are some of the services we provide:
Assessment
We will meet with you and determine your goals in owning and leasing investment property. We will conduct a targeted market survey to provide you with recommendations for a realistic but aggressive rental rate. We’ll also review the current condition of your property and, as appropriate, make suggestions about cosmetic or other repairs that will assist us in securing the highest rental rate. We will seek guidance about your preferences for tenant qualifications, including how long of a lease you’re looking for, whether you’ll allow pets or smoking, etc. Please note that we abide by all Fair Housing laws.
Comprehensive Tenant Screening
Our thorough tenant screening process ensures that prospective tenants are financially sound and responsible. Our comprehensive rental application helps to screen out marginal applicants on the front-end and eliminate potential headaches later. We call and verify all references provided, including current employers and landlords to get an overall picture of the rent-worthiness of the applicant.
Advertising and Marketing
Our multi-faceted marketing strategies help find well-qualified tenants quickly and efficiently. We utilize online listing websites, building signage, email marketing blasts, and referral networks, which minimize vacancies, and keeps your income flowing.
Rent Collection and Disbursement
We collect all rents on your behalf, and aggressively pursue tenants who are tardy payers. In the unlikely event that a tenant becomes a non-payer, we will handle the entire notice and eviction process on your behalf. We will be happy to provide you with monthly reports, accurate accounting, and prompt owner draws.
Landlord and Tenant Relations Management
From showing your rental property, handling the lease signing, conducting detailed move-in and move-out inspections, and collecting and disbursing of security deposits, we make tenant turnover seamless for you. We handle communications from tenants, insulating you from both every day and emergency calls.
Maintenance Management
Tenants can call or email our property management company 24/7 on any maintenance issues. We have a network of contractors who will respond quickly, or you can specify your own contractors. You will let us know up-front what types of repairs you’re comfortable we make without contacting you in advance. We also will recommend, prioritize and complete (with your approval) upgrades that will add value to your property. We will solicit bids and oversee major repairs/maintenance as they happen.
MORE Money and LESS Work
Rather than manage the property yourself, we handle it all, which gives you better cash flow and more peace of mind. You will benefit from shorter vacancies, better tenants, less turnover, higher rents, and less stress. Overall, you will enjoy a better return on your investment.
