Q: What are your management fees?

Our full management fee is 10% of monthly rent collected, with no hidden fees. We also offer leasing-only services at 50% of the first month's rent. See our pricing section for complete details.

Q: How do you screen tenants?

We conduct comprehensive screening including credit checks, criminal background checks, eviction history, income verification (requiring 3x rent in income), employment verification, and previous landlord references.

You'll receive monthly statements detailing all income and expenses. You also have 24/7 access to our owner portal where you can view real-time financial data, maintenance requests, and property documents.

Q: How do you handle maintenance?

We have a network of vetted, licensed contractors. For routine repairs under $300, we handle them immediately. Larger repairs require your approval unless it's an emergency threatening the property or tenant safety.

We follow up immediately on late payments. If necessary, we handle the entire eviction process according to Ohio law, keeping you informed every step of the way while protecting your interests.

Our average vacancy time is under 15 days. We use professional photography, list on major rental platforms, and conduct efficient showings to minimize your vacancy period.
