Raymond Property Management

 

Owning rental property is a huge investment that will pay off in the future, if you do it right. What would be wrong? Basically trying to go at this on your own! You do not want to get to the point that you sell the property simply because renting is becoming a huge form of stress. That is why Raymond property management is here to make it work for you.

 

Why Own Rentals?

 

Why should you own a rental home and put this onto the market? There are several reasons:

 

This can be a great form of passive income
You can always use this home later if you want
It is a pretty straightforward investment since so many people are looking to rent

 

And when you work with us, we make sure that this is a pleasant experience.

 

Why People Turn To Us

 

When you turn to us to handle your leasing property, you are going to find that we handle various items that are all revolving around the rental property. We handle so much that you do not need to be involved at all, you can rest and relax without the stress of handling a rental property. So what do we do? Here are some of the things that we manage:

 

– We make sure that the rental property is set for the market. We may make suggestions as to what to change in order to make this more attractive to those who are looking to lease in this area. For example, if the home has old carpet we may make a suggestion to change this to hardwood flooring to make it more appealing. The same can be said of old, outdated appliances that would be better served if they were upgraded.

– We also advise a price level that is going to work for you and be competitive with the renter market. We take into consideration not only what the home you are renting looks like, but the area and what you need to make this a wise investment on your behalf.

– We publicize this to the market for you, using a heap of various practices to ensure that we reach the greatest group that we can. We are going to use online methods as well as traditional methods to ensure that we reach anyone who may be interested in renting this home.

– Once applications start to roll in, we will then use our tenant screening services to secure that the person who is chosen to live here is going to be an ideal fit. These screening services are going to take into consideration the past rental history of the person, their credit scores and even criminal background checks.

– Then we manage the day to day operating of the dwelling. This may mean that we collect the rent each month, arrange for repairs and maintenance to be made, as well as deal with any tenant issues  that may arise such as complaints or the like.
