The two main functions of a property manager are leasing and managing the property.
Leasing
This involved marketing your property and vetting applicants. A property manager will stage and take pictures of your property and advertise on numerous internet websites. The next step is showing the property. After the prospect applies, the applicant should be vetted. Checking; credit, criminal, employment, residential history, and evictions. References need to be called. Rental rates need to be set.
Finding long-term residents is important as this reduces the re-occurring leasing cost. Resident turnover is costly. During the process, there are laws to remain aware of, like Fair Housing laws. A leasing fee for a Realtor is generally one month’s rent, and a property manager’s fee is as low as ½ month’s rent.
