Landlord

The job of landlord has many facets and responsibilities that many do not anticipate when purchasing investment real estate. It can be very time-consuming and this can lead to lack of interest in the investment and what could be a rather lucrative return on it. Fortunately, there is Real Property Management. Real Property Management can take a lot of the headache out of being a landlord. They take on the guesswork and tedium and allow the property owner to relax and enjoy their investment once again.

Real Property Management developed as a franchise over 20 years ago and has put systems and procedures in place that give their property management staff consistency in services, professionalism, and quality across their franchise offices regardless of the area of the country in which they are located. The landlord, or property owner, can have confidence in hiring RPM knowing their property will be maintained and that rent will come in regularly. The tenant can be assured that the property manager will take care of their needs in a timely manner and that they are available 24/7 for emergencies. In fact, because of this consistent business model, tenants locating from one part of the country to another have the ability to seek out RPM offices with security that they will receive the same services that they previously had.

Likewise, the landlord can have confidence that owning properties in different parts of the country doesn’t mean searching out quality managers in each location. Real Property Management has offices in 35 states that all follow the same guidelines and processes for advertising property, collecting rent, inspecting and maintaining property, and even eviction when necessary. The landlord just needs to ask for an office locator to find a franchise that serves the area in which their property is located. RPM uses a web-based reporting system as well, which allows property owners the ability to get financial and maintenance reports on their property when they need them.

One of the most critical and scary parts of being a landlord is finding qualified people to occupy property. It can be very costly to have tenants who can’t be trusted or who damage property, or simply don’t take care of it. Real Property Management is very careful to screen prospective tenants with comprehensive background checks to ensure that they place the right tenants in the best properties for them. These background checks include rental history as well as employment, criminal and credit checks. RPM doesn’t take lightly the responsibility of property management and knows that they act as landlord for the property owner. In this day and age of professional tenants, those who know the system and use it to avoid paying rent, Real Property Management is zealous in protecting the interests of their clients, the landlord or property owner, while providing the tenant with security and exemplary service as well.
