FAQ

We Are Here To Help You With Any Questions You May Have

A single-family home is defined as a single dwelling on its own parcel of land. It doesn’t share walls with any other buildings. Generally, these properties have a yard of some sort and a private entrance. Although single-family homes provide a lot of space, storage and privacy, apartment buildings may have more amenities such as a gym or door attendant.

As an investment property, these homes can only be rented out to a single person, so there’s no income if the property is vacant. People who invest in multifamily homes or apartment blocks may be able to cover one vacant unit with income from other apartments.

 

Many people fall into renting out a single-family home unintentionally. They find may themselves with an empty house due to an inheritance or because they have to move away temporarily and don’t want to sell their home. Other people decide to rent when they move and can’t sell their home.

Property managers can help you manage your investment. Most people think the role of a property manager is just finding a tenant, collecting rent and taking care of maintenance. However, it can take much more to manage a single-family property.

Finding a tenant may require advertising and marketing, and your property manager also screens prospective tenants to ensure you get someone responsible and reliable in the house. As well as collecting rent, a property manager chases late payments and can evict tenants who don’t pay. Property managers may also keep your accounting and tax information in order to make tax time easier.

Tenant relations are a large part of the property manager’s job. They do regular inspections of the property to make sure your tenants are looking after the home. When emergency maintenance is required, they’re the ones who get a call at 3 a.m. and are the people who contact contractors and arrange to send someone out.

 

They also answer tenant questions. As they’re fully versed in the laws surrounding property rentals, they can ensure that their answers comply with regulations. This helps protect you from legal action by tenants.

Not only is property management affordable, using a property manager can actually increase your property’s overall profitability. Most property managers charge a small percentage of your monthly rent in exchange for comprehensive services that range from finding and screening tenants, to handling emergency maintenance and record keeping.

 

You should also consider that property management companies are experts at preventing vacancies and turnover costs, the two factors that can sink your profit margins almost instantly. As the owner of a single-family rental home, keeping your property filled is especially important—your total revenue is likely generated by a single set of tenants.

There are a number of benefits to using a property manager for your single-family rental. Property managers take care of everything, giving you more time to do your day job, spend time with family or find your next investment property. They also have experience and systems in place that let them manage your property efficiently while making sure you meet all your legal obligations.

 

Property managers are good for people who don’t have a lot of experience in investing and don’t understand everything required. They’re also perfect for people who don’t have the time or inclination to deal with maintenance calls in the middle of the night or chase tenants for rent.

 

Property managers can also let you diversify your investment. It can be impossible to manage a property remotely, but with a property manager, you can choose to buy in a location that has low house prices or a growing need for rental properties no matter which corner of the country it’s in. Property managers can also help people with multiple investment properties. The more properties you have, the more time it takes to manage them. A property manager allows you to continue to build your portfolio without worrying that you won’t have time to keep the properties running smoothly.

Single-family homes have a lot to offer both new and experienced investors, but like all rental properties, they have the potential to take up a lot of time. A property manager can look after the day-to-day running of your investment, leaving you time to enjoy your profits or find your next money-making opportunity.
