The Wrong Way to do Property Management

Ever heard the phrase "you get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get"? While some companies cut costs by cutting overhead expenditures to save you money, they may also be cutting corners that end up hurting you in the long run.

• The property management company is difficult to get in touch with and/or does not return the client's phone calls or e-mails.
• The property management company has an inefficient method of screening renters and a high rate of evictions.
• The property management company does not personally meet with prospective tenants to verify identification.
• Renters complain that it is difficult to contact the property management office and/or find it difficult to have their repair requests fulfilled.
• The company does not visually inspect the home to make sure that renters are properly maintaining it.
• You rarely hear from your property management company and you don't receive monthly updates of your home.
