Property Management FAQ for North Shore Landlords
-
How much do you charge for property management?Pricing depends on the number of units, service level, and property type. Typically fees are a percentage of collected rent plus any leasing or placement fees for new residents. We’ll break everything down clearly before you sign anything.
-
Can you work with my existing tenant?Yes. We can step in mid-lease, review your current lease, introduce ourselves to the resident, and take over management going forward. This is common for self-managing owners who are ready to hand things off.
-
Do you handle Section 8 and voucher programs?We understand voucher programs, inspections, and communication with housing authorities. If your property qualifies and you choose to participate, we can help navigate the process and keep documentation organized.
-
I live out of state. Can you manage everything locally?Absolutely. Many of our clients are not local. We handle the on-the-ground work, while you receive updates, statements, and documentation digitally.
