Yearly 1099

  • We normally use a local accountant to mail out these forms.

Maintenance

  • The owner is responsible for major end items, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc.
  • If an item breaks due to age, or fair wear and tear, then owner is responsible for the expense.
  • If breakage is due to fault of tenant, then tenant pays.
  • I am the Point of Contact for all maintenance related items- I act as the General Contractor for major work.
  • On larger expenses, ( for example repayment of AC Unit) I charge a 7 % contracting fee.
  • For smaller items, as a former builder, I can perform numerous small maintenance items. I have a minimum fee of $65.00 which is generally much cheaper than hiring a plumber or an electrician. I am not a licensed electrician so if you are more comfortable with me hiring a licensed subcontractor, then I can do this also.
  • As per the lease agreement, if a maintenance item is less than $100.00, then I ask your authorization to repair the item and then inform you later. Also, if an item is an emergency, then again I take care of it while letting you know what is going on.
  • Any major item that needs to be repaired will be referred to you with options or suggestions.

Fees

  • Management fee is 10 % of Gross.
  • Start up fee is $175.00- This is for finding, qualifying, checking in a tenant and checking them out at the end of a lease period- If a tenant renews their lease, then this fee does not apply.
  • If a tenant wants to buy your home and you agree, then I ask for a 5% brokers fee. This only applies to an existing tenant.

Legal Remedies

  • I act as your agent if we had to evict a tenant for any violation of the law.

  • I do not smother a tenant, but when anything noteworthy comes up, I will keep you informed.
