SYSTEMS!

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

People always ask me…”How do you like doing Property Management?”

My reply is always…”I LOVE IT!”

The shock on their face is PRICELESS! (just like in the MASTERCARD commercial! The face of shock is usually followed by the next typical question of “REALLY?”

So I answer…”YES…Really!”

Here’s the reason why…

I know the reason why everyone is shocked by the answer to my question. It’s usually because the misconception is that being a “LANDLORD” is problematic, a headache, and something that most people DON’T want to do. They don’t want to deal with tenants, they don’t want to deal with late night calls from tenants complaining about some maintenance issue, they don’t want to attempt to collect rents, have to deal with evictions, and deal with the mess of a problematic tenant!

Guess what? WE DO~! But the great thing is…WE really don’t!

The secret to success in Property Management is SYSTEMS~! Like most anything in business, you MUST develop systems, define them to understand, implement them, and refine as you go along.

I call this my DEFINE & REFINE Method.

Fire Safety Inspections for your Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals & Myrtle Beach Property Management

Fire Safety Inspections:

When owning investment property, the biggest concern one should have is whether or not the home is being properly maintained, cared for, and PROTECTED! At Hart Realty & Property Management, we take great pride in concerning ourselves with ALL THREE.

Focusing on the PROTECTED aspect, we conduct a Fire Safety Inspection with EVERY property that we take on to our Myrtle Beach Property Management, with NO EXCEPTIONS!

One question we get asked alot is Why we do this and no one else does? Well, I can’t speak for why others don’t, but what I can tell you is that WE do it because it protects both your home and the future tenant that will reside in your property. Yes, we ensure that we protect the home, but we also like to take care of and protect our tenants as well. Our tenants are our future and our business (Our = Both you the property owner and us), without them, neither entity gets to make $. It is something that we believe is the recipe for a long lasting relationship with both owners and tenants alike. When the tenant knows they are moving into a safe property and they are being taken care of, they are less likely to want to relocate elsewhere upon lease fulfillment and they also attract others to our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental Program as referred business.

With each and every Fire Safety Inspection we conduct, we send a trained and qualified individual in to the home to conduct an extensive inspection  as per a checklist guide from the U.S. Labor Department’s OSHA regulation (Occupational Safety & Health Administration).

After the inspection, we receive a detailed analysis of the home and it’s condition relating to its safety condition. If there are any deficiencies noted on the inspection, we inform the owner of the required repairs necessary to bring the home up to regulation. Once complete, you can rest assured that both your home and the tenant are safe.

Why is this important? First off, your investment property is most likely your most expensive asset you own. Whether it is a inexpensive 1 bedroom or a luxury home, it is something that NEEDS to be PROTECTED. Secondly, we also value the lives of the future tenants that will reside in your home. In case a fire should ever happen in the home, we want to ensure that the tenants have the best chance of survival through early detection and alert and in turn the Fire Department can be notified immediately to remedy the situation as soon as possible.

If your Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental has never had a Fire Safety Inspection and it is older than 1 year old, you need to call Hart Realty & Property Management.

REMEMBER…We value your home as if it were our own!

If you would like more information on our Myrtle Beach Property Management or a Fire Safety Inspection for our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals, contact us at 843-903-HART (4278) or email us Manage@HartRealtyOnline.com

Quality Tenants for your Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental & Myrtle Beach Property Management

Quality tenants is what EVERY Landlord is in search for for a property that they either own or lease/manage for someone else. For some, finding quality tenants is like a crap shoot or Russian Roulette. You never know what you are going to get until it’s too late. But yet, it seems as though from the outside some people get good tenants and never have problems. First off, never having problems is wrong, you are always going to have an issue or two here and there, but how is it that it seems like some people get “The Good Tenants?”

How are these people getting “The Good Tenants?” For some it’s just LUCK! For companies like ours, we pride ourselves on leasing our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals to “The Good Tenants!”

How you ask? Well, you might say that a small portion of finding “The Good Tenants” has to do with luck, but mostly it’s because we conduct a VERY THOROUGH screening process. One that has a 5 point check that offers us the ability to obtain as much information as we can about our prospective tenants for our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals.

Having the information is only the 1st step. As a Landlord of Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals, you need to know how to process the information and know what to look for in order to determine whether or not they are “The Good Tenants” that you are looking for. You need to be able to identify the positive aspects about their application information and in turn identify the “risks” associated. Once you identify the risks, you must determine if the tenant poses too much risk to rent to or mitigate the risk in some form (in accordance with your state Landlord & Tenant Act).

Conducting a thorough screening processing and learning to process the information that comes back to you from the screening process, you will find that you will start obtaining “The Good Tenants” that everyone is in search of and you will also start to see that doing Myrtle Beach Property Management is not as tedious or cumbersome as originally believed to be. Once again, define your systems, implement them, and refine them if need be and start to make it a continuous cycle and you will see how easy managing your Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals can be.

For more information on how we conduct our Myrtle Beach Property Management or Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals, feel free to contact us today!

Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing from you.

Inspections

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Myrtle Beach Property Management:

When having your Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental professionally managed or even if you plan on managing your property yourself (*Only recommend if you have extensive background in managing properties and tenants), one key component that a landlord MUST implement into its system of management is inspections!

Failure to implement inspections into your systems can (and most likely will) cause major problems in the long run. As we’ve discussed in previous blogs, management is the integral part of a successful relationship between managing Long Term Rentals in Myrtle Beach and tenant relations. Reason being is, we have found that any tenant that has been failed to be managed will eventually lead astray. Failure to inspect the premises will lead to major problems in the end.

Inspecting the property on a regular basis allos for the following:

  1. Let’s the tenant know that you care about the property, which in turn will subversively force the tenant to pay better attention to their living conditions.
  2. Allows for the landlord to identify any major issues or problems well in advance before the issue/problem becomes a major costly matter.
  3. Keeps the tenant on their toes in letting them know that they can’t “Do as they please!” and should they, you can correct them immediately.
  4. Keeps a time line of conditions as to the property. What this means is that by doing a series of inspections prior to and during occupation and after the tenant vacates will help in identifying the responsibility of the damages that are present after the tenant vacates the premises.

We have found that strict and stringent inspections from start to finish is THE KEY ingredient to successful management. For additional information on Myrtle Beach Property Management services, CALL US TODAY at 843-903-HART (4278) or email us at Manage@HartRealtyOnline.com

Application Process – Myrtle Beach Property Management

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

At Hart Realty & Property Management, we take Taking Care of Your Property very serious! In doing so, we know how important it is to place QUALITY tenants in our Homeowner’s properties. As we know, no system is ever perfect, but we strive and do everything within the regulations set forth by Federal, State, & Local governments to conduct the most thorough checks we can on EVERY applicant/occupant of one of our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals.

Because of our thorough process, we have been fortunate to not have to Evict a tenant in our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental department in well over 2 years! How do we do it you ask?

We conduct the following:

1. Federal Credit Bureau Check

2. Federal background check. This is very important because most if someone has a criminal background or is wanted in abother state, they typically won’t show up in most “state” checks which most local government agencies and background checks will only have access to.

3. Employment Verification. We confirm employment and salary from the prospects supervisor and ask for a recommendation from their supervisor.

4. Reference Checks. Though we do not hold much weight in references, as we all know most people are not going to provide references of people that will not speak highly of them, but what we are looking for here is whether or not a tenant prospect can provide 3 references. Our belief is, that if a tenant prospect looking to reside in a Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental cannot provide us with 3 people that cannot speak highly of them, then we are not interested in them residing in one of our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals.

5. Debt to Income verification. Like most lending institutions, we will conduct a debt to income verification on all our prospects. This will provide us with the ability to determine whether or not the prospect will be able to afford the rental they are applying for both now and during the entire term of the lease.

These 5 criteria coupled with standard criteria that provides us with the necessary information to determine where the prospect will stand with a security deposit has afforded us the ability to manage some VERY QUALIFIED tenants.

If you would like to know more about our Myrtle Beach Property Management services or our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rentals, please feel free to call our office and speak with one of our licensed Property Managers at 843-903-HART (4278) or email us directly at manage@hartrealtyonline.com
