charlottesville rental homes: Spring & Summer Rite of Passage * Property Owners want to "Visit" their Property - 04/22/10 06:15 AM
The subject for this blog post came after the second e-mail from property owner clients who want to "come see their property". I've had two come so far this Spring and expect 2 more before the end of May. One owner who lives in India tried for three flights from TX to VA during the February weekend storms and all three times his flights were canceled and he returned to India without seeing the property. I promised to send pictures when the current residents leave. One owner came during the time I was immobile after a medical procedure and I arranged … (6 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: Hidden Resource for Landlords, Property Managers, Leasing Agents * USPS Delivery Confirmation - 04/21/10 07:29 AM
One of the BIGGEST and most COSTLY mistakes that landlords make is to DELIVER notices and communications with residents inappropriately. Few state landlord-tenant statutes actually REQUIRE that notices be served by Certified (Registered mail is for items of VALUE) mail with a signed return receipt.....YET, many attorneys are still advising landlord and property management clients to serve notices this way. The USPS estimates that less than 80% of these mailings are ever signed for and retrieved so why this method continues to be utilized escapes me. While you can certainly send a notice Certified/Return Receipt Requested if your landlord-tenant statutes still … (5 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: What do you mean? If the property goes VACANT without being RENTED the RENT goes UP?~! - 04/21/10 05:29 AM
I'm getting "second" and "third" contacts from prospects from my website who have been lurking for several months and have seen several of the homes they were interested in VANISH! They are concerned because they NOW know that there are prospects out there who are renting my properties from my web site SIGHT UNSEEN.
Almost ALL of my big properties are renting to military families moving into the area from overseas. These applicants are not that concerned about the rent amount as they will get a generous housing allowance and they do not have time to come to the … (1 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: Back up Offer!?! For a LEASE?!? - 04/11/10 04:10 AM
Our local area rental market is EXTREMELY tight. Over 50% of the properties listing daily on our Craigslist http://charlottesville.craigslist.org/apa/ are over 30 minutes away and in a different area code. There is a closer Craigslist "sites" for these listings; however, these landlords and property managers KNOW that the Charlottesville rental home market is lacking inventory for the DEMAND and they want the "spill over".
This is why I am taking BACKUP applications for properties available this summer. For this process to work and be FAIR, I advise the first or PRIMARY applicants that the property is not secured until I have … (6 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: I think I got a Rental Property Listing Because I had a new DOOR MAT in my CAR!!! - 04/07/10 05:33 AM
While on a rental property presentation yesterday where the former residents just moved out and the owners drove from NoVA to check out the property, I noticed that there was no front door mat....Who takes a DIRTY front door mat? The owners told me they used the builder's mat with the builder's name on it which we quickly found in the garage * 3 of them.
Luckily, I had stopped at TARGET on my way to the appointment and stocked up with my "spring supply" of door mats so I opened my car hatch and pulled one out that said WELCOME! … (8 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: I'm Moving and I'm GLAD!!!! My New Office is for my DOGS!!! - 04/05/10 09:45 AM
I am moving my office in mid May....not far, just to the first floor of my current office building. The space is PERFECT....Technology has allowed me to downsize my office and reduce my overhead.
I'll have an outside entry directly from the parking lot and a second office/storage area for signs, etc. which I always seem to have in my car. I can knock the dirt off of them and store in my office rather than bringing them home and taking them to my basement. I'll downsize slightly as I no longer have the paper * LITERALLY * I … (9 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: Got a tenant moving out this summer? Start your move-out procedure NOW! - 03/29/10 01:18 PM
One of the things that rental property owners and small landlords always think is that the tenant automatically KNOWS what to do when they are moving from their rental property. This is not the case. Property managers know that you can NOT reinforce the process too often. About 2 months before the lease ends, confirm the move-out date AND time....a DAY is 24 hours so the EXACT time that they keys need to be returned is important. My leases end at NOON on the last day of the lease. About 3 weeks before the lease ends, send out a confirming move-out … (2 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: Sorry, Mr & Mrs. Tenant Prospects * The home you have been "discussing" is LEASED! - 03/27/10 11:40 AM
Every year I have tenant prospects cry * usually around April or May * and usually because they waited too long to make an area home selection OR they listened to a real estate agent who told them there would be MORE rental housing inventory in the summer and there are actually LESS homes for rent because of increased and EARLIER demand. April 1, 2009 * I had 40 homes and townhomes available on my website for rent in May, June, July and August. April 1, 2010 * I will have 25 homes and townhomes available on my website for rent … (8 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: e-Leasing * It WORKS & BENEFITS incoming Rental Residents in Securing a New Rental Home - 01/10/10 06:28 AM
Almost 6 years ago (after 9/11 when people could not fly into the area to view rental homes), I started e-Leasing properties to incoming military and medical school families and over the years, fine tuning of the process has become a great boon for my clients and I continue to tweak the process.
One of my New Year's resolutions is to start the leasing process EARLIER with properties where I will not be renewing the current residents' lease. For various reasons, these residents are at the limit of their budget to pay an increased rental rate; have been late three times in their … (7 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: Kiplinger ranks Charlottesville (VA) 4th in line for RECOVERY!~! - 05/26/09 07:55 PM
http://www.kiplinger.com/magazine/archives/2009/07/best-cities-2009-where-the-jobs-are.html
Actually, our area has been fairly recession proof because of the University of Virginia, National Ground Intelligence Command, and large local private employers and we are importing new-hires for many highly skilled jobs in the medical, security and education professions.
While local Realtors may promulgate this information to generate sales and listings, I advise current clients of this ranking AND put copies of the Kiplinger article in my rental management proposal to encourage clients and would-be clients to think of their current Charlottesville/Fluvanna as investment so that they can retain it and diversify their investment portfolio with a good rental … (1 comments)

charlottesville rental homes: Match Day at UVA Medical Center brings in Rental Home Prospects!!! - 03/27/09 05:41 AM
March 19th was "match day" for all medical school residents around the country. This is an IMPORTANT "Known" date in many real estate offices around the country where there is a teaching hospital in the area....sort of like the date the old Yellow Page ad listing sales closed used to be in commercial real estate (commercial tenants needed to rent their business address in order to be listed).
Luckily, the University of Virginia Medical School is in Charlottesville and whereas in past match situations, those incoming residents might have bought a home in the area, they are now RENTING because they … (1 comments)
