Managing a Crestview rental property can be difficult but there are a few essentials that make it a bit easier!
1. Marketing
Now that you have decided to manage your Crestview rental property, how are you going to let other people know it's available for rent? To maximize the chances of receiving a renter do the following:
List the property online such as Zillow, Trulia, etc
Answer all questions about the property and schedule showings
Have contact information posted on the listing
Have an online application for the rental property
2. Tenant Screening
Screening your Crestview rental property applicants is one of the most important things you do as a Landlord. The Residents you select will define the future of your rental property’s performance and integrity. You must search for reliable, high-quality, and timely Residents for your Crestview rental property.
When selecting Residents for your rental property, consider the following few of many contingencies:
Income
Employment
Credit
3. Tenant Portal
A Tenant portal is one of the most important factors to managing Crestview rental properties. You must ask yourself the following:
How is my Tenant going to pay rent? Online, Cash, or Check?
How is my Tenant going to submit maintenance requests?
How is my Tenant going to view their lease and other important information?
How is my Tenant going to contact me?
The above questions are extremely important because these are the daily factors when doing Crestview Property Management.
4. Move-out Process
You have been managing your Crestview rental property for some time now and your Tenants let you know that they’re leaving, now what? Now starts the rental move out process.
The Crestview property management move-out process consists of:
Inspecting the property.
Comparing the move-in inspection to the move-out inspection.
Sending a claim letter via mail to the Tenants forwarding address with how much you are claiming against their security deposit with picture proof.
Giving the Tenants 15 days to agree to disagree to the charges you decide to claim.
The above process is not just a recommendation, but a Florida law. Now following the Florida Move-Out Process Law can result in not being able to claim anything on the security deposit and other damages.
