This method allows for timely, automated payments and helps streamline the process. However, we also offer the option to accept paper checks for tenants who prefer that method. Our goal is to provide flexible payment options that suit the needs of all tenants.

FAQ image

What is your process for handling late payments and evictions?

Our process for handling late payments and evictions is carefully tailored to comply with local ordinances, as different cities and counties have specific regulations. Here’s a general outline of our approach:

  1. LATE PAYMENTS

We typically implement a grace period for late payments, followed by late fees as outlined in the lease agreement. Tenants are notified through the online portal, email, and/or SMS if their payment is overdue. We encourage communication and work with tenants who are facing financial difficulties to set up payment plans when possible.

  1. EVICTIONS

If late payments persist and other solutions are not effective, we follow a structured process based on the specific laws of the city or county where the property is located. We ensure that all steps, such as sending formal notices and legal notifications, comply with local eviction laws. We aim to resolve issues amicably but will take necessary legal actions when required to protect the interests of the property owner.

How do you provide financial reports to property owners?

We provide property owners with easy access to financial reports through our online portal, which offers 24/7 access to a variety of reports and financial details. Owners can view their financial information at any time for full transparency. Additionally, at the beginning of each month, property owners receive an electronic report that summarizes the previous month’s financial activities, including income, expenses, and any other relevant details. This ensures that property owners are always informed and up-to-date on the financial status of their properties.

VENDOR AND CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIPS

How do you select and manage vendors and contractors for maintenance and repairs?

We take great care in selecting and managing vendors and contractors for maintenance and repairs to ensure high-quality service. We work with an independent contractor who brings over 33 years of experience to the table, ensuring expert handling of most maintenance and repair needs.

For larger projects, we require at least three different bids from qualified vendors to ensure competitive pricing and quality work. Before requesting quotes or bids, our team thoroughly reviews each vendor’s information, including references and reviews, to verify their reliability, professionalism, and past performance. This careful vetting process helps ensure that only trusted and qualified vendors are chosen, delivering reliable results for our property owners and tenants.

FAQ image

INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

How do you ensure the tenants and renters are adequately insured?

We ensure that tenants and renters are adequately insured by requiring renter’s insurance as part of the lease agreement. Before move-in, we verify proof of coverage and continue to monitor policy renewals to ensure ongoing compliance. To make the process easier, we recommend trusted insurance providers and educate tenants on the importance of protecting their belongings and liability. This proactive approach minimizes risk for both tenants and property owners while promoting peace of mind for all parties involved.

We employ a proactive digital marketing strategy to ensure our properties are prominently featured online and reach a wide audience of potential renters. Here’s how we ensure our properties start with their best foot forward:

FAQ image

TENANT SCREENING SELECTION

INCOME VERIFICATION

Importance: Verifying a tenant's income is essential to ensure they have the financial capacity to meet their monthly rent obligations. This step helps reduce the risk of late payments or defaults, ensuring that both the tenant and the property owner are protected.

Process: o validate a tenant's income, we request documentation such as pay stubs, employment verification letters, or tax returns. Our goal is to confirm that the tenant's income is stable, consistent, and sufficient to cover the rent and other living expenses. This thorough verification process helps us select tenants who are financially reliable and capable of meeting their rental commitments.

FAQ image

CREDIT CHECK

Importance: A credit check is important because it provides valuable insights into a tenant's financial responsibility and their history of meeting financial obligations. A solid credit report often reflects responsible financial behavior, which is crucial for ensuring tenants can consistently pay rent on time.

Process: We review the tenant's credit report to assess their financial history, looking for any outstanding debts, late payments, or significant financial issues. A good credit history indicates that the tenant is financially stable and reliable, while any red flags may prompt further consideration before moving forward with the rental application. This helps us make well-informed decisions when selecting tenants for the property.

FAQ image

DEBT-TO-INCOME RATIO

Importance: Calculating the debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is essential to assess whether a tenant can comfortably afford the rent along with their existing debts. A reasonable DTI ratio helps ensure that the tenant is not overburdened by debt and can meet their financial obligations, including rent, without strain.

Process: We analyze the tenant's monthly debt obligations (such as credit card payments, loans, and other financial responsibilities) in relation to their monthly income. By comparing these figures, we can determine if their financial situation is stable enough to afford the rent. A balanced DTI ratio indicates that the tenant has sufficient income to manage both their existing debts and the cost of living, including rent.

FAQ image

BACKGROUND CHECK

Importance: A thorough background check is vital to identify any criminal history or prior legal issues that could pose a risk to the property, other tenants, or the overall community. It helps ensure a safe and secure living environment for all residents.

Process: We conduct comprehensive background checks that include searches for criminal records, past evictions, and any history of property-related disputes. This process allows us to make informed decisions, ensuring that tenants have a clean history and are likely to be responsible, respectful residents who will not jeopardize the safety or well-being of the property and its community.

FAQ image

LANDLORD REFERENCE

Importance: Contacting previous landlords provides valuable insights into a tenant's rental history, including their behavior, payment habits, and how well they maintain the property. This helps us gauge the tenant's reliability and suitability for the rental property.

Process: We reach out to former landlords to inquire about the tenant's rental history, specifically focusing on their on-time rent payments, the condition in which they maintained the property, and any past issues or concerns. This information is crucial in assessing whether the tenant will be responsible, respectful, and reliable in their new rental home

FAQ image

PERSONAL REFERENCES

Importance: Personal references offer a broader perspective on a tenant's character, reliability, and overall suitability as a resident. They can provide valuable insights into the tenant’s personality, lifestyle, and interpersonal skills, which are important factors in maintaining a positive rental environment.

Process: We request personal references from the tenant to gain further context on their behavior, habits, and how they interact with others. While personal references are not as critical as other checks, they can provide additional context and help us form a more complete picture of the tenant's overall suitability for the property.

LET US ILLUSTRATE WHAT WE CAN DO

ON YOUR PROPERTY

We took over management of a 6 unit building in Palatine, Illinois. 3 of the units were paying rent at below market value and the other 3 were occupied by tenants that were no longer paying rent, and because of the special protections put in place because of Covid-19 they could not be evicted. The building was in desperate need of repair, but our client had no cashflow, unpaid taxes, and mounting frustrations. When I first talked to them their goal was to get rid of the property at any cost as quickly as possible. Instead,
I convinced the owner to give us 6 months to apply our proven methods toward resuscitating distressed rental properties and to turn this property into an income generating success.

In just 6 months we were able to completely turn this property around and bring our landlord into the black. We negotiated all new leases, and found creditworthy tenants, who were paying market value. Past rents were paid using special grant assistance coordinated by our team.

Every unit was renovated using our Property Refreshment Program available to our clients - the common areas were modernized and the property value in total was increased more than $100,000 and monthly cash flow went from less than $2,500 to $6,635 per month. By the time we were finished, this property was bringing in more income than any other surrounding property within the association.

Are you an owner that could benefit from our professional management services and proven approach to property management. If so, fill out the form and let us put together a customized strategy to increase your monthly cash flow.
