Property Management Services

Communication

The #1 failure of many Property Management companies, which is kind of strange in this age of phone, text, email, Portal, and fax. MyKC.rentals takes a proactive approach to keeping you informed about your property and responds to your questions promptly.  Your secure online Portal is updated in real time and provides information on property activity, vacancies, leasing, maintenance, inspections and financial reports.  Whether you live a few blocks from your rental property or hundreds of miles away, you can monitor the activity of your property from the convenience of your computer of phone, 24 hours a day anywhere in the world.

Comprehensive Marketing & Advertising

Each day your property is vacant is money out of your pocket.  Professional management costs are easily offset by shorter vacancy times.  We spend thousands of dollars every month advertising our vacancies to get them filled – faster.  Your property is advertised on high-traffic rental and classified websites.  We respond promptly to rental leasing inquiries and advise prospective tenants on details about the property, and show your home in the best possible light. Prior to marketing and advertising your rental property, our experts also advise you in two important areas:

• Setting a competitive monthly rental rate based on a comprehensive analysis of property condition, upgrades, school districts, location and access to transportation, and area rental market rates.

• Getting your home ready to rent faster, to a high quality tenant, by providing recommendations and guidance on how to make your property rent-ready.

Thorough Tenant Screening & Selection

Placing the wrong tenant can be a disaster.  Every tenant application is evaluated based on credit, criminal background, sex offender registry, employment verification and residency/rental history.  Our thorough screening complies with all applicable laws, including Fair Housing and Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Full-Service Leasing

We use our own Attorney-approved Lease which tenants sign electronically. Rents, deposits and any fees are collected in accordance with local legal and financial regulations and recorded in your online account. Keys are not released until all utilities have been placed in the tenant’s name. and all documents have been properly executed.

Timely Rent Collection

Nothing affects your cash flow more than late or missing rent payments.  We collect the rent every month and deposit it into your account electronically on the 10th of the month.  Our collection processes are professional but tough, and we are extremely diligent in collecting rent through a systematic, timely process. Tenants are offered a variety of ways to pay rent, so you can get your money as quickly as possible.  In addition, we treat each tenant respectfully and fairly, as a positive relationship with a tenant leads to timely rent payments as well as better care for your property.

Regular Inspections

Professional property condition reports of your property both inside and out are beneficial to ensure tenants are complying with the terms of their lease and to assess property conditions. Our office conducts move-in, periodic (6-monthly), and move-out inspections.  Documentation and photographs from these inspections are published to your online account, and assist in determining needed maintenance and repairs to maintain your home’s value and avoid costly repairs if left unattended.

Cost-Effective, Reliable Maintenance

Maintenance is a necessary expense in owning a rental property, and the return on your investment can be significantly impacted without timely, cost-effective repairs and upkeep.  When handled by us, you’ll save time, money, and ensure repairs are completed in a professional manner by our trustworthy and qualified maintenance personnel. Our office has an extensive network of contractors, vendors and in-house staff to handle property maintenance and repair work.

Strict and Compliant Evictions

Even with careful placement there is occasionally a tenant who needs to be evicted.  Our staff is extremely knowledgeable in state and local landlord/tenant laws.  If the tenant does not pay rent on time or breaches the terms of the lease, we initiate the proper legal steps necessary, in the fastest possible time frame, to minimize your costs and get the property leased again. Ask us about eviction protection.  For property owners who opt for this plan, we will pay for the eviction should it become necessary.

Comprehensive Accounting

Our goal is to maximize your income and minimize your expenses.  To keep track of your income and expenses we use a centralized accounting system.  This all-inclusive accounting and reporting system, backed with itemized statements and tax documentation, keeps all your property management financial information organized in one place. Your secure online account has easy access to financial reports any time you need, and we can even provide links for you to import data into your own preferred software if you prefer.
