I have been calling property management companies for the past 3 days trying to get in touch with them about rental properties. None of them contacted me, and the one call center that I got in touch with was not able to answer my questions at all. Alexandria helped me through the entire process even helping me troubleshoot technical issues and was very sweet while doing it. Because of alexandria, I stopped looking on sites like Trulia and went straight to Mynd Property Management's site to look for other properties for rent. The tour process was easy once Alexandria and I figured out the technical issues, and I'm going to tour a couple of places today!

The young lady Alexandria was very very helpful and professional. She was patient when I was trying to get my documents together to load up. She was a true blessing for the first day of this new year. Thank you Alexandria and I hope and pray I can get this house to call home for my family.

Michael was very helpful in arranging for me to view several properties on the same day to minimize my searching time. He asked questions to confirm that I had the necessary information available to make the proper decision on selecting a rental property. Booking an in-person tour was simple!

FAQS
What does a certified property manager do?
Property managers wear many hats. Bookkeepers: Property managers manage your expenses so that you know how much money you're making, spending, and how to maximize your tax deductions. Project Managers: Property managers coordinate maintenance and repairs. Emergency Contact : If a pipe bursts at 3 am, your tenants contact your property manager to fix it! Legal Counsel: Property managers make sure your investment is legally compliant to minimize your liability and protect you, your tenants, and your property.
Tenant Liaisons : Property managers find, screen, place, retain, and evict tenants. What makes a good property manager?
Expertise and level-headedness are crucial to good property management. A good property manager knows how to talk with people, negotiate prices, and anticipate challenges. A good property manager also needs to maintain a professional, respectful, and amiable demeanor no matter what's going on. Property managers see it all, from renters excited to find a new home to residents in challenging circumstances facing eviction. Through it all, property managers need to know what to do and how to do it calmly. What questions should I ask a property manager?
In addition to asking a property manager about their experience, you should ask them how they would behave in particular scenarios. How would they deal with a resident who is regularly late with rent? What would they do if they got a call at 3 a.m. that a pipe had burst? What gestures would they perform to increase resident retention?
A property manager has to be ready for anything, but they also need to know whom to go to when they need help. What are the tax benefits of owning rental properties?
There are benefits associated with single-family rental homes that can ease the tax burden. Among the expenses that can be deducted are: Mortgage interest Insurance costs Marketing budget for a property Fees charged by a condo or homeowners association (HOA) Property taxes Services the investor pays for (gas, gutter cleaning, etc) Professional fees associated with income property, such as legal expenses or budget keeping.
Mynd has a primer on the 20 percent Qualified Business Deduction, one of the hidden tax benefits related to rental property ownership . And Mynd has a complete list of 31 tax deductions that are available to landlords that are often overlooked. To avoid paying capital gains taxes when it comes time to sell a property, a seller can execute a 1031 exchange , which shields the profits from the sale of a property if it is used to buy another property of equal or greater value. But there is a time limit of 180 days for the purchase of a new property, which can put pressure on a buyer to accept a less desirable deal. There’s yet another tax break for rental property owners known as the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction , which allows deductions of up to 20% off taxable rental income. The QBI has a threshold of $315,00 for married taxpayers and $157,000 for everyone else. Any income that falls below the threshold is allowed the full 20% deduction. Those who make more than the threshold can still get the deduction, but it’s a new and complicated deduction so a tax professional should offer guidance. What is a good cap rate for investment properties?
What constitutes a good cap rate depends on investment goals, and can vary from region to region in the country. Some strive for a cap rate as high as 10 percent, but in a competitive market that is more difficult to achieve, and properties with these rates of return are often in less desirable neighborhoods, which pose higher risks. These days, a cap rate of 5-6 percent for single-family rentals in many hot markets is a more reasonable expectation. Some investors believe that properties that have a 7-8 percent cap rate offer a good balance of risk and stability. In general, higher cap rates have a higher upside, but there are usually pitfalls associated with them, including purchases in areas where turnover is higher, tenants who rely on government subsidies, amenities are scarce, and quality of life issues like crime are an issue. Lower cap rates are to be expected in more stable neighborhoods, where returns are likely to be more predictable, but investors can look for greater appreciation on the value of a property. But measuring the cap rate does not tell an investor all that needs to be taken into account, because it does not factor in leverage, the possibility that a property will increase in value, the time value of money, and future cash flows from property improvements and other factors. Do property managers find renters?
The property managers at Mynd find prospective renters, and perform a renter screening process that focuses on finding responsible, consistent, and reliable potential renters. That means they pay rent when it's due, they communicate when maintenance or repairs are needed, and they meet all of the expectations outlined in your lease agreement. Most importantly, Mynd focuses on finding renters who will stay in place for a long time, and they treat your property as if it is their own.
