What does HOLDOVER mean in property management?
Property Management always has something interesting going on!
We have been property managers since 2006 and their is always something interesting going on! I say interesting because I think most people would agree with me that if you are supposed to be out of a home by tomorrow you would be packed up and ready to go. I find it interesting that this tenant does not have a box in site!
It is safe to say he may be in HOLDOVER by tomorrow. HOLDOVER is a lease term written into the lease that says if a tenant is not … (2 comments)

property management: Property Management is not a Breeze!

Property Management is not a Breeze!
For those who think property management is a breeze. If you're going to do this business, you better be willing to get your hands dirty and jump in with your contractor to get it done! Most owners want and need our help!
This is a Whitewright property we manage. The tenant told me the tile floor in the utility room was cracking and coming up. She didn't think much of it at first because being a manufactured home, the floors give, right?? But when she pulled up a tile and saw it was wet I sent … (2 comments)

property management: How many people can I allow to live in my rental house??
- 05/18/17 12:31 PM
How many people can I allow to live in my rental house??Does the owner's occupancy standard have to be at least two-persons-per-bedroom for non-families?NO: The two-persons-per-bedroom occupancy standard applies only to families. When rental applicants or renewal residents are not a family with the meaning of the fair housing laws, the owner is free to adopt stricter occupancy standards, for example:
(1) only one adult per bedroom
2) only one adult per dwelling(3) only one married couple per dwelling
(4) no unmarried adults in the same bedroom
(5) unmarried adults only if they are related, etc.

property management: Who gets the security deposit if you don't manage a property anymore?
- 05/06/16 01:09 AM
If you are a landlord and your management agreement ends with a tenant occupied property you should forward the security deposit to the new landlord or the owner of the property.
Send a written notice to the tenant that you are no longer the landlord, that you forwarded the security deposit to the new landlord and that the new landlord is now responsible for it.
In Texas there is a form called the Notice to Tenant of Change in Management and Accountability for Security Deposit.
This is the best way to handle the security deposit exchange!
It is also … (1 comments)

property management: Do I have to leave the smoke alarms up in my lease house?
- 11/02/15 03:13 AM
Do I have to leave the smoke alarms up in my lease house?
YES!!! The Texas Property Code is very strict about this and you could be subject to civil penalties and be liable for any damages caused by not having the smoke alarms installed in the proper places.
This is what the Texas Property Code says about SMOKE ALARMS:
Subchapter F, Chapter 92, Property Code requires the Property to be equipped with smoke alarms in certain locations. Requests for additional installation, inspection, or repair of smoke alarms must be in writing.
Disconnecting or intentionally damaging a smoke alarm or removing a battery without immediately replacing it … (1 comments)

property management: 6 signs YOU need a residential property manager!
- 02/20/15 05:04 AM
6 signs YOU need a residential property manager!
You have multiple properties
Managing one property is time consuming, so owning two or more is even more time consuming. Say goodbye to a personal life outside of your regular job too! You will spend all of your off time on managing your properties.
You don't live near your rental property
You own rental properties in Texas but you live in California! The tenant knows this and will most likely take advantage of your absences with unkempt property, late pays etc...
You live near your rental property
Living near your property can be almost as … (13 comments)

property management: What does the law require on Tenant Selection Criteria?
- 01/21/15 06:33 AM
What does the law require on Tenant Selection Criteria?
This question has came up in our property management office meeting today and I can only answer for the law in Texas as this is where I have my real estate brokers license.
According to the Texas Property Code 92.3515 , a landlord must "make available" to the applicant a printed notice of the landlord's tenant selection criteria and the grounds for which the rental application may be denied at the time the applicant is provided with a rental application.
The tenant selection criteria may include the applicant's :

property management: Why Renters come to Wylie Texas..A Rental Market Report

Why Renters come to Wylie Texas..A Rental Market Report
Wylie Texas is a great place to raise a family ! I know because I raised my family here! My kids all graduated from the awesome Wylie School District . I think renters come to Wylie for the schools and the smaller town atmosphere. However, Wylie has grown since I moved here in 1994. We didn't realize what a small town it was until it grew!
There used to be NO rental homes in Wylie back in the 90's. If one did come up, it was gone quickly. Today however there is … (0 comments)

property management: The secret to good Property Management!

The secret to good Property Management !
Have you ever wondered what the secret to good property management is? We have been managing properties since 2005 and in my opinion, the secret to good property management is slow growth. We have built this business slow and steady, learning from our mistakes along the way!
There are many reasons to hire a property manager:
Tenant procurement, tenant background screening, collection of rents and reporting...etc
But have you ever thought about how the company came together?
There are so many questions you should ponder before hiring a property manager:
Do they have only 5 … (0 comments)

Have you had a "Selfie Summer"?
Summer is slipping away so make the most of it! Summer is my favorite time of the year! I love patio sitting, riding our Harley, going to the beach, outdoor concerts, swimming and the movies!
I have had an awesome summer with a new grandson, a daughter graduating from college, a 1st annual family reunion, my grandaughter visiting for 6 weeks, my son getting a promotion and my baby turning 20!
During all that I managed to have a record month in June with 10 closings ! Russell and I are working hard together to … (1 comments)

property management: I slipped into our Property Management Career!
- 08/08/14 02:05 AM
I sold this home to a California Buyer in 2005, he asked me to manage it for him and another one he bought! I had been in leasing apartments so I said sure I can do that. This is how I slipped into our Property Management career!
Property Management is a niche market, not everyone is cut out to do the work and put the systems in place to work this side of the real estate market. I have learned Property Management is so much more than leasing nice homes..... We definitely have put the systems in place to help you maintain your investment. This … (1 comments)

property management: Wylie Texas June 2014 Home Sales Market Report
- 07/17/14 05:37 AM
Wylie Texas June 2014 Home Sales Market Report
If your like most of us, we want to know what is going on in this home-selling market! Home-sellers still have the advantage with the average sales price up by 14.7%. Days on market are slightly higher in June compared to this time last year and the number of "listed for sale homes" is down significantly from 192 to 154. Sellers this leads to many showings and multiple offers!
However, your home must be priced at market value and in good condition to obtain a quick sale in my opinion. I see homes setting on … (0 comments)

Your not just a number Property Management!
When we started in property management in 2005 we had no idea that as we were building our business, property management would become our "niche"! We knew there were alot of Property Management companies in Dallas Ft Worth area. Some have 100's if not thousands of homes they manage! It was apparent from the beginning that tenants and owners who sought our service were frustrated. They were frustrated with being just a number!! The companies who were managing their homes and helping them find a lease home were :
not readily available
never returned calls
