Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Columbia property owners want to know before working with a management company.

Our management fees typically range from 8–10% of monthly rent collected, depending on your plan. We also charge a one-time leasing fee for placing a new tenant. There are no hidden fees — everything is disclosed upfront in your management agreement.
Most properties are rented within 2–4 weeks of listing. We use professional photography, MLS syndication, and platforms like Zillow and Trulia to maximize exposure. Pricing competitively to market is the biggest factor in leasing speed.
Our screening includes a full credit report, criminal background check, eviction history, income verification (2.5–3x monthly rent), and previous landlord references. We also verify employment. This process significantly reduces risk and turnover.
Owner disbursements are made via ACH direct deposit monthly, typically between the 10th and 15th of each month after rent has been collected and processed. You'll receive a detailed owner statement with each payment.
We immediately send late notices and begin collections procedures. If a tenant becomes delinquent, we initiate the eviction process on your behalf. Our Full Service plan includes eviction coordination so you're not handling this alone.
Yes. Tenants submit maintenance requests through our portal. We dispatch our vetted vendor network for repairs. You pre-approve a maintenance threshold (typically $200–$500) — anything above that amount is approved by you before work begins.
Absolutely. You own the property. You can access it with proper notice to tenants as required by SC law (typically 24 hours). Your owner portal gives you real-time access to all financials, reports, and property activity.
A free rental analysis is a professional review of your property and the current Columbia rental market. We estimate your achievable monthly rent, compare similar properties, identify any improvements that could increase rent, and outline a management plan — all at no cost and no obligation.
We manage all residential property types: single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and multi-family properties up to 20+ units. We tailor our management approach to each property type.
Switching is straightforward. We review your current management agreement, help you navigate the termination process, and transition your property and existing tenants to our management platform seamlessly. Most transitions take 2–4 weeks.
Yes, rental income is taxable. We provide annual 1099 forms and a full year-end financial summary that makes filing straightforward. We recommend consulting a tax professional for personalized advice.
