    Pre-paid rent is rent paid in advance for the following month. It is held in trust until the due date, reflecting as "Unallocated funds" on your statement until applied in the subsequent month.

    An uncontested eviction typically costs $1,500.

  • How do I pay management fees?

    Management fees are deducted from your monthly distributions.

  • Will you pay my monthly bills for me?

    Yes, we can pay utility bills and vendor invoices, provided there are funds in your owner's account. However, we do not pay HOA dues or mortgages.

    Typically, tenants are responsible for yard care and snow removal in single-family homes, while it's the owner's or HOA's responsibility in multi-family complexes.
