Frequently Asked Questions About Real Property Management Instant Equity
How quickly can you find me a tenant?
When finding a tenant, we consider factors like price, location, and season. At RPM Instant Equity, we provide recommendations to help you rent out your property quickly. Our average time on the market is 29 days, but often we can fill vacancies within one to two weeks.
Do you handle maintenance requests?
Yes. We handle maintenance requests as part of our property management service, including routine repairs and middle-of-the-night emergencies. Our team of contracted vendors is licensed, insured, and specializes in their specific field.
Can I perform repairs myself?
If an owner has a preferred handyman or vendor, RPM will prioritize using them for property service. When a property is vacant, owners can handle repairs themselves. We prefer using our trusted vendors to ensure leasing deadlines are met.
How do rent payments work?
Tenants pay RPM Instant Equity rent, and we deposit it into our trust account. Over 80% of our tenants pay rent electronically. After the funds have cleared the bank, we direct deposit the rent from the current month, minus our fee and any other expenses, into a bank account of your choice. Owner payments are made weekly.
Should I allow pets?
When it comes to pets in your rental, consider that the majority of renters have pets. Not accepting them can limit your pool of potential residents. As the property owner, you can set restrictions on what pets are allowed. However, these restrictions do not apply to Emotional Support Animals or Service Animals, as they are protected by Federal Fair Housing Laws.
What happens when a tenant leaves the property?
We perform move-in and move-out assessments to ensure the property is in good order and ready for new residents. The move-out assessment also allows us to properly process the security deposit after vacating the property. We also conduct routine property visits throughout the lease term to check for lease violations and ensure there aren’t any outstanding maintenance repairs.
What is your tenant screening process?
All applicants aged 18 and above must complete our online rental application. We verify income to ensure it's at least 3 times the rent, conduct a national background check, and review credit and rental history to check for outstanding debts. We have established criteria for applicant approval that you can review.
Will I have access to my owner statement/reports?
Yes. Owner statements, bills, and property reports are available anytime through the owner portal.
