PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, MORE THAN JUST MAINTENANCE
Property management involves several tasks which may include property maintenance, collecting rent, finding tenants, and more. If you don't like doing the same work day in and day out, you might consider hiring a property management company to do it for you. These companies specialize in services such as property management, commercial property management, apartment property management, and more. They will even take on complicated issues such as eviction and tenant collection.
Let's start with the obvious and that is property maintenance. These companies provide maintenance services to your properties such as landscaping, sidewalks, swimming pools, furnaces, snow removal, snow removal, etc. They will also find tenants if you need them to screen your tenants. This is important because sometimes, tenants may lie about important things like where they are from, their employment details, or even their criminal records. A property management company will have on hand sufficient staff to do background checks, credit checks, employment verification, and any other verification you need.
Next up is collection. You have probably heard the expression, "it's not making any money." That is because the property management company you hire has probably had to lay off staff or reduce earnings because the company does not make any money. The reverse is also true because the property management company has probably had to hire staff to collect rents and fees.
The third main task is income analysis. This is done by a property management company to determine your property's net operating income. This is done to determine your net income, your net income before depreciation, taxes, interest, and other income. The property management company can also determine your net operating surplus, your net operating deficit, and even the amount of equity the property has. Equity is the amount of money your property has after you deduct the value of the equity as a result of the purchase price discounts or other income arbitrage. The property management company will even calculate the market value of your property.
Next up is expenses analysis. This is done to determine the actual amount you have to pay for the services provided. Your property management company will know what the going rate for the services is. They can also provide recommendations for how to reduce your expenses.
