Merced Falls Property Management

 

Do you have rental property that you are trying to get onto the market? If so, are you facing a lot of obstacles? Many people find that when they start to rent this to the market that they are going to come up against things that they never thought they would. While the rental market is always in need of rentals, there can be times of drought, so to say. However, another issue that many people find is that they are just not getting the interest that they thought they would. What is the issue? 

 

If you are new to this, then chances are you are just not reaching the market that you should be reaching. And that is something that we can help with. Here at Merced Falls property management we are ready to take over your rental and get it seen, rented and successful on the market.

 

Why Work with a Firm?

 

Why should you work with a firm rather than try to manage this rental home on your own? Here are a few things to ask yourself:

 

– Do you really have the time that it takes to invest into being a solid landlord? You will find that this is often more than a full time job for some people, so you most likely do not have the time that it truly takes to be a great landlord.

– Do you know how to advertise this successfully? While you could always share this to your Facebook page or even put a “For Rent” sign in the front yard, you are not going to reach a huge market with these methods.

– Do you know that to charge for rent? Overcharging can keep people away, yet undercharging is leaving profit on the table.

– Do you know how to choose the best tenant that applies to live here? Do you hope that you will have a gut feeling for those who are going to apply or just hoping that your luck holds? There are better ways to do this.

 

For these reasons and questions above, if it makes you start thinking that you probably don’t know it all when it comes to managing a rental home, then you are not alone in this thinking. This is why people turn to Merced Falls property management to handle their rental home.

Thorough Tenant Screening

Placing the right tenant is the single most important step in rental management.

We verify identification, social security cards and pay stubs, along with contacting prior landlords for recommendations, keeping the delinquency rate to a minimum. Our thorough screening process for potential tenants has consistently kept our eviction rate at less than one percent.

Utopia also provides our owners with the optional “Utopia® Eviction Protection Program” for further peace of mind.  As a management company, we have many procedures in place to assist in the elimination of potential liabilities.

  • Exceptional property protection options for owners.
