3) Property Reserve 

The minimum property reserve is $500.

 

Each month, when we pay owners, AppFolio keeps $500 in reserve to cover maintenance and other property expenses until the next rent payment is collected.

• When onboarding a property with an existing tenant, you do not need to fund the reserve because rent will be collected soon.

• If the home is vacant or will be vacant when we take over, we may need funds for locks and lockboxes. This usually does not apply if the home already has 2 lockboxes and Kwikset locks.

4) Onsite Onboarding

Our maintenance tech will make one visit to get the property ready.

• Take marketing photos and video.

• Check the lockboxes. If needed, we will purchase our standard lockboxes for about $60 each. Installation is free.

• Check the door locks. We prefer Kwikset locks because we can rekey them between tenants without a locksmith.

  • If new Kwikset locks are needed, they are usually about $50 per door on Amazon. We can purchase the locks using the Property Reserve funds.  Labor to replace the locks is $89 per hour.

• Inspect the property for maintenance issues.

• Send you a video of any recommended repairs for review and approval.​​​​​

5) Rent Assessment & Marketing

Once we have toured the property, our Broker will work with you to set a reasonable Advertised Rent and then post the home for rent on 50+ websites. 

​

You'll get weekly Marketing Update emails with the number of new:

• Inquiries 

• Showings

• Applications

​​

This will help determine if we need to update Advertised Rent or keep rent the same for another week.
