Is there an Indianapolis Prop Mg. Comp. w/o full first month fee?
I am looking to find a PM that does not charge full 1st month rent for tenant move in. It seems so generic. If rent is $1600 or $900, they all seem to take first month to market, find and place tenant. Is that the norm here?
This PM I'm considering now does Turn key on side. So assume they have Handy man and all set up inhouse. Reason I consider them is that they manage my rentals neighboring house rented at same rate as I would consider mine rented at $950 priced.
*They take 10% and full first month.
*If lease is renewed, stays at the 10%.
*Any late fees collected stays w agent. Not shared?
*Do I ask if they upcharge maintenance or at cost or in house?
*What are standard terms for lease renewal, at what rate would they be allowed to take 50% again?
What else is really important to ask/ consider?
This new CV times, can I make sure they rent to someone w a job so i dont get stiffed rent as soon as they move in?
Thanks,
RD
