What Is The Rental Process From an Owners Perspective?

Our Application Procedure Includes:

• Comprehensive national credit and background checks

• Employment and income verification

• Several years of rental history, including an eviction search

• A proprietary screening method that encourages honest, open-ended responses about the applicant’s situation

Rather than relying solely on a narrow credit score, we analyze the complete picture of each applicant’s financial and personal background. This well-rounded approach has served us exceptionally well—over the past decade, we’ve had to evict only a handful of residents that we personally approved.

Lease Execution & Deposits

Once an applicant passes our screening process, we require them to pay the security deposit within 24 hours to secure the home. Failure to do so may result in losing the opportunity to another approved applicant.

We collect at least one full month’s rent as a security deposit, though in some cases more may be required.

After payment is received, we prepare and execute the lease using a standard Bar Association lease, and provide you with a finalized copy.

We typically encourage two-year lease terms, as reducing turnover is one of the most powerful ways to boost long-term profitability. While a minimum one-year commitment is standard, we may occasionally recommend shorter terms when strategically beneficial—usually for seasonal or market-timing reasons.

Accounting & Disbursement

We process owner payments twice monthly, around the 12th and 20th.
In most cases, funds are not disbursed until the resident has moved in.

All security deposits are held in a state-regulated escrow account, fully compliant with state real estate law.
