Management Services

Reputation & corresponding trust cannot be bought,

they must be earned with consistent actions & performance.

Are We Right for You?

  • Successful rental property investors understand the importance of proper property management. Poor management can turn a positive ROI into a negative – even on the best locations and/or purchases.
  • The relationship between an owner and their property manager requires a certain level of trust, but that trust should be earned with actions rather than words, and then consistently nurtured and grown.
  • We strive to leverage the latest technologies to do the hundreds of little things required to manage rentals, but it still takes people to implement these technologies.

Our staff cannot be everything to everyone, all the time.

So, we politely request you communicate your expectations to us.
We’ll let you know upfront what we can & cannot do, so you can decide if what we offer will work for you.

We cannot stress the importance of this enough, because we want quality, long-lasting relationships with our clients.

Communication Options & Records

Communication is the key to every relationship, so we use an online portal where all information regarding your property(s) is available. You have access to all Owner Statements, Live Reports, maintenance work, proof of tenant payments, pics, invoices, a history of communications, etc.

Innovative Rental Marketing

We do an exceptional job of leveraging technology & logical processes to market properties for rent. We advertise on 20+ websites, track all activity, showings & applications and provide you a bi-monthly Marketing Report.

Robust Tenant Screening

We have an exceptional screening process, requiring a YTD paystub, most recent W-2 and bank statement. We check national credit, eviction & criminal histories, verify past landlords and also video Tenant MoveIns.

Tracked Tenant Management

We cannot stress how important it is to have strict, yet fair, policies & procedures in place to manage tenants. Tenants must be consistently monitored to confirm they follow lease requirements. For accountability, we document all tenant communications in our online database & phone calls are recorded.

Strict Evictions & Pay Plans

Nonpayment of rent is a major issue that must be aggressively addressed, so that potential losses are minimized. We keep pressure on tenants with past-due balances & require pay plans – to get them to pay or move expediently. Eviction Notices are sent no matter the excuse and calls made at specific trigger-events for more effectiveness.

Property Inspection Videos

We do periodic inspections to monitor the condition of your property(s). Inspections include Annual Interior, exterior Driveby, MoveIn Checklist, MoveOut and City Compliance Inspections. We video all inspections and provide you a copy.

Transparent Maintenance

Communicating maintenance issues & costs to you, so you understand what is needed and what you’re paying for, is always challenging. We have a unique solution – we provide you pics/videos to support bids, then provide actual invoices and completion pics/videos. Everything is published to your owner portal.

Utility Management

Keeping track of tenants putting electric & gas in their name, paying water bills and flipping utilities to your name upon vacancy can be tedious & lead to costly errors. We handle all of it for you, including tracking tenant water bill payments.

City Compliance

Most cities in Metro Detroit require some type of periodic rental license/registration to legally rent a property and collect rent. Tickets are issued for noncompliance. We handle the city application and arrange required inspections for you, documenting everything.

Intense Financial Reporting

You should have access to information regarding the performance of your property(s), just like you do for your bank account. On the 15th of each month, we email an Owner Statement for the previous month. We also provide a live Rent Roll Report, P&L Reports for previous & current months, and Monthly Comparisons for current & previous years.

Legal Guidance, LLC Setup, Insurance, etc.

While we can’t give you legal advice, we can point you in the right direction and refer you to local legal experts. We can do the same to address your insurance and other needs.

Pricing

Our pricing depends on the services you want, the number of units and what type of neighborhoods they are located in. Please contact us to discuss!
