Many people get into real estate investing because of the great return for the money, but some don’t realize what it takes to manage property. The Austin real estate market is full investors just like you who are trying to make a nice return while doing little to no work. Most of these other investors hire property managers to do the work for them. It not only takes the burden off of you but reduces your exposure to liability and can lower cost of repairs and monthly maintenance.
Property Managers can do many things better than than average investor. For one it is cheaper for us to run back ground and credit check simply because of the volume we do. Lawn and other maintenance can be cheaper with property managers because of the relationships we have with our venders. We can also respond faster to problems because of our corporate accounts we keep with service providers.
Rent collection is not the only thing we do. Although, Neuhaus Realty Group does have EFT rent collection, which allows for our tenants to set up automatic payments from there checking account. This makes rent collection faster and more predictable. Neuhaus Realty Group reported no late rent in 2009 or 2010. Automatic payments is just one way we try to achieve that.
A big reason to hire a property manager is because we can keep you legal for less. Chapter 92 of the Texas Property code is landlord and tenant law. Neuhaus Realty Group understand what it takes to comply with the Texas Property Code. Let us keep your property legal for less.
Neuhaus Realty Group can customize a program to your needs. No matter how many or how few properties you own. Neuhaus Realty Group has something for you. We will do it all; leasing, background/credit checks, rent collection and distribution, mortgage, tax and utility payments. We can handle anything you want us to do.
