Yes and no. As an owner/investor you can obviously manage your own property. It looks easy until you get into it and have to deal with everyday issues. We can save you time, money and headache.
Happy tenant translates to a well-maintained property and a steady income for the owner. Tenants pay rent and want the property to be in good condition and everything working. A property manager should make it easy for the tenant to pay rent using technology and make sure that tenant have access to a 24/7 emergency maintenance app to report if anything breaks down.
Tenants should also have a choice to use old, traditional methods to pay rent such as cash and check if they are not comfortable with technology. We try to allocate time to train all tenants with the technology but if at the end of the day they are still more comfortable with traditional ways, we respect that and go with it (rarely the case).
Communication, transparency, expertise and again communication.
Owner wants to be paid and s/he wants to make sure his/her most important investment is well-maintained. Owner/investors also don’t want to be without tenants.
In order to do this the property manager should facilitate payment and be able to direct deposit the rent into owner account, make sure that the tenant has access to 24/7 emergency maintenance service, provide the owner/investor with inspections.
An exceptional property manager should make sure the owner is not left in the rain and always has good tenants.
