If you own rental property, ask yourself these questions:

• Are you forced to keep up with the ever-changing fair housing laws and other legislation regarding tenancy, including lead-based paint and toxic mold policies?
• Are you concerned about the possibility of a tenant suing you...and winning?
• Do you have to deal with the collection of rents, late payments, and bounced checks?
• Do you dread confrontation with tenants, trying to convince them to take care of the property better or start paying their rent on time?
• Do you cross your fingers, hoping that you won't have to deal with the move-out / advertising / move-in process that occurs between tenants?
• Do you struggle with the process of advertising and showing your vacant home, interviewing tenants, taking applications, and running credit and background checks?
• Do you sometimes feel that you spend all of your time collecting checks, paying vendors, and performing all of the accounting necessary on your rental?

Here are some of the things we do for you:

• Keep on top of regional, state, and federal landlord/tenant law and legislative issues facing property owners and tenants.
• Track vacancy rates, vacancy factors, time-on- market, and rent values for the area, and effectively market your home with print and the Internet.
• Create and maintain relationships with qualified vendors, including painters, roofers, electricians, plumbers, appliance repairmen, handymen, and more.
• Provide appropriate rental applications and forms that, along with a consistent screening process, ensure the highest quality tenants while conforming to all applicable laws.
