Frequently
Asked Questions

|
- I
heard that the cost of management is a tax
write-off.
Is this true?
- Yes,
your property management fees can be written
off as an expense on your
taxes.
This effectively lowers the actual
amount you are paying.
(Please verify this information with
your accountant, however, since we are not
accounting experts)
- Who
do my tenants call when there is an
emergency?
- Tenants
will be instructed to contact Signature
Properties for any reasons that they would
normally call a landlord.
- Do
you do inspections once the tenant moves
into the property?
- We
do annual interior inspections and more
often when warranted.
In addition, we do regular drive-by
exterior inspections.
- What
if the tenants don’t water and take care
of the yard?
- Our
contracts state that if the tenant does not
take care of the yard maintenance in a
satisfactory manner, than a gardener will be
hired at the expense of the tenant unless,
of course, a gardener has been provided for
in the lease.
- Can
I do my own repairs?
- Most
owners prefer that Signature Properties
handle all repairs.
Because we work with several vendors on a regular basis, we are
able to negotiate the best possible price in
most situations.
In addition, the quality of the work
better assured.

do you choose a good tenant?
- We
use many tools available to us to help us
