Frequently Asked Questions About Real Property Management Focus
How long does it take to rent a property?
Leasing a home involves many variables, such as time of year, local inventory, condition, and asking price. A sparkling, move-in-ready home generates preferred renters, and we can fill vacancies within 30 days by finding qualified applicants.
If we receive any feedback from potential renters while showing your property, we will inform you of it. In case the asking price is not generating the desired response, we will discuss the condition of your property or whether reducing the price might be a good idea.
How do you handle repairs?
For tenant-occupied homes, tenants submit a maintenance request via their online tenant portal or our 24-hour maintenance hotline. Our portal allows tenants to submit a work order request by describing the issue and uploading photos when appropriate. Owners receive the same notification of the request that we do once submitted. Our goal here is full transparency of everything going on with your property. Tenants can also track the status of their requests online.
When a request comes in, we assess it and see if it needs immediate dispatch or if we can proactively troubleshoot the issue with the tenant. There are many common repair requests our team is trained on how to troubleshoot. If the problem needs to be fixed, we assign the work order to one of our preferred vendors. We utilize third-party vendors / independent contractors for all work. We make sure the cost of the repair is fair and that the job is completed satisfactorily.
Can I perform repairs myself?
Yes, if an owner has a specific handyman or vendor they wish to service their property, RPM will note it in their portfolio and contact them first for service. When the property is vacant, owners can handle the repairs needed to make it “rent ready,” if they choose.
Our preference is to use our vendors to ensure leasing deadlines are met, as we work with these vendors regularly, they are insured, licensed, reliable, trusted and we know what to expect.
How do rent payments work?
The tenant pays RPM Focus rent, and we deposit it into our trust account. Over 80% of our tenants pay rent electronically. Once 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 accept pets?
Statistics show over half of all renters have pets. Being open to pets, you will increase demand through the entire prospective rental pool, thus increasing the rental price as we charge an additional amount per pet per month. If maximizing rent is important to you, maybe you should consider pets. If you would rather play it safe, it is OK to say no pets. If you are open to a pet, we always say, “pet considered.” That means we may approve the right pet, not all pets.
Emotional Support Animals are handled per Texas law requirements. Ask our office for more information.
How much will my property rent for each month?
Like the real estate market determines sales prices, the local rental market determines rental rates. Three factors contribute to the amount of rent your rental property will receive each month.
1. Availability and rental rates of comparable properties
2. The features and benefits of your property
3. The marketing exposure for your vacancy
After we receive the details of your specific rental property, we will complete a market analysis and set a starting price. We then evaluate all vacancies under our management on a weekly basis, making adjustments in the price or within our marketing strategy to get it rented as quickly as possible.
How do you advertise your properties?
Getting properties rented efficiently is pivotal to our success and happy client owners; we must generate as many qualified leads as possible. We achieve this by syndicating marketing efforts to the top rental websites (over 20+). We also pre-screen prospective renters and inquire about who will be living with them, the number of adults, the number of minors, and if they have any pets. We also ask how long they have been at their current employment. Our software allows us to follow up and get feedback from every interested party.
What is your tenant screening process?
All prospective tenants must participate in an extensive screening process. Each adult over 18 years of age must complete an application. First, nationwide background checks and eviction database screenings are completed to examine criminal backgrounds and the sex offender registry. Next, we ensure they qualify financially by reviewing their credit report, verifying employment, and reviewing pay stubs and/or tax returns. Finally, we review their rental history by contacting their previous two landlords for references.

How are repair requests managed for tenant-occupied properties?
Tenants submit maintenance requests online or via a 24-hour hotline. Owners receive notifications. Repairs are assessed, troubleshooted, and assigned to trusted vendors ensuring fair costs and quality work.
Can property owners perform repairs themselves?
Owners may use their preferred handymen for their properties if noted. For vacant properties, owners can handle repairs to make them rent-ready, though the company prefers using their trusted vendors to meet deadlines.
How does rent payment processing work at Real Property Management Focus?
Tenants pay rent to RPM Focus, mostly electronically. Once cleared, rent minus fees and expenses is deposited weekly into the owner's chosen bank account.
Should I accept pets in my rental property?

How is the monthly rent price determined for my property?
Rent prices depend on comparable local rentals, property features, and marketing exposure. RPM Focus analyzes market conditions and adjusts prices weekly to rent vacancies quickly.
