Answers to your frequently asked questions

• Can you put the money directly into my account?

  Yes, direct deposit is not only available but strongly encouraged.

• Do I get to see the lease or sign it?

  Our standard lease can be made available for your review. As we approve tenants and execute leases, we will sign on your behalf as your agent.

• Do you sell real estate too?

  Yes, we are able to help you with a traditional sale as well as creative exit options such as lease options and seller-assisted financing. These options are helpful for some landlords for tax reasons and they offer more flexible options to existing tenants who are interested in purchasing your home.

• How and when do I get my checks?

  All net rental income is direct-deposited into your account and property ledgers that reflect your income/expenses are available anytime in your landlord portal.

• How is rent collection handled?

  We strongly encourage tenants to set up auto-payments online, through their tenant portals. Rents are always due on the first of each month, with a three-business day grace period. Late fees apply thereafter.

• How long of a lease do you sign?
