You can also set up alerts so that you get notified any time a new listing that matches your search criteria shows up.
Everyone who begins a search for their next home usually has a list of the things they want and the things they need. Maybe you want a four-bedroom home with a yard and outdoor space as well as gorgeous views that’s close to your office, but your budget prevents all of the things on that list. Prioritize what you really need and want, and balance that against your budget.The budget is really the most important factor when you’re looking for a home. You don’t want to rent something that you can’t afford. Be realistic in what you can spend, and focus all your energies on finding a home that you love in that price range.You also want to make sure you’ll meet the rental criteria for the home you hope to rent. Most landlords and property managers will have documented and consistent rental criteria that has to be met before they approve an application. Always ask what the income standards are before you apply.In addition to budget, you have to think about location.Location is important because you want to be close to school or work or any of the places that you go on a daily basis. You might find a place that you love, but if it’s an hour away from where your work is, you might spend extra money and time getting there and back every day. That’s going to impact your quality of life and your budget.Don’t just choose a property because the price is right.

When you’re looking for a professional San Antonio property management company, you have to know what they are supposed to do for you before you begin interviewing various companies. Today, we’re talking about some of the things that your San Antonio property management company should do for you, your residents, and your rental properties.
A great management company will help you find good investment properties. When you’re looking for a rental home in San Antonio, New Braunfels, Converse, or any of the surrounding areas, you should be able to count on a management company to show you what’s available and make some recommendations on what you might want to buy. Not all management companies do this, but those with a passion for real estate and a real knowledge of the local market will want to help you build your investment portfolio.
When you have a rental property and you’re ready to start looking for residents, you should expect your property manager to ensure that property is in good shape and ready for the rental market. It’s never a good idea to list your home before it’s ready. If you do this, your vacancy time will be longer and you’ll have a problem attracting great residents.At Mynd, we do a thorough walk-through inspection and make some notes about everything that the house might need before we begin showing it to prospective residents. It’s important to maximize your rental income, and the best way to do that is by providing a property that’s both attractive and functional. You’ll also have fewer things to worry about when you do have people moving in. You don’t want to be called out for maintenance issues as soon as a resident moves in.
Another important function of your property management is resident screening. There should be a consistent and documented process in place that ensures the best and most qualified applicant is moving into your home.When you have a good resident in your home, you save yourself a lot of stress later. Many investors don’t realize that the screening process is one of the most critical parts of the leasing process. It’s always going to work out better for you when experienced professionals are handling the screening.You want your property managers to check employment and verify income. Make sure you are renting to someone who can afford the rent. There need to be standards in place to determine whether an applicant is a good fit for your rental home.In addition to employment and income, a property manager will check credit history and rental history. When you find a well-qualified resident, you know you won’t have to worry about late rent payments, potential evictions, and large expenses to repair damaged property after they move out. Good residents will pay on time and take care of your home and follow the expectations in the lease agreement. Good property managers know how to find and screen for those residents.Many investors don’t realize the perils involved in a screening process that isn’t legally compliant and well-documented. There are fair housing and discrimination issues involved every time you receive an application and screen a potential resident. You need to know how to handle the regulations in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You need to understand the difference between an emotional support animal and a service animal and a therapy animal. Different laws apply to each category, and none of those categories are considered pets.You can get into serious trouble if you don’t know the fair housing protected classes. It’s very easy to make an expensive mistake when you’re screening applicants. Leave this process in the hands of a qualified property manager, and make sure they have high, well-documented standards for the people they’re moving into your property.
Your property manager can be expected to deal directly with residents and respond to their complaints and requests. If your resident stops paying rent or is consistently late with rent or you notice that they are violating the lease in some way, your property manager will know how to handle the situation. You don’t have to worry about chasing down late rent or filing an eviction. With a good property manager on your team, you won’t have to worry about any of it.Eviction is serious and something that almost every rental property owner dreads and fears. At Mynd, we have an entire eviction team that handles all of the notices, court forms, and the whole legal process for you. That’s what you want in a property management company; someone who won’t delay the process. You don’t want to spend any more time and money trying to get your property back.When you’re a San Antonio investor looking for a management company, the most important thing you want to look for is competent, professional experience. You want to make sure your property is being run as a business. The company you hire is a huge piece of the puzzle. Your property manager should be on your team as a major operating system and the foundation of your whole business model. It’s vital for your success as an investor, and it’s how you scale and grow.Don’t settle for anything less when you’re looking for San Antonio property management.If you want to learn more about how we can help you manage your San Antonio rental home or an investment in New Braunfels or Converse or other local markets, contact us at Mynd Property Management.We also have other opportunities to connect with us and learn more about investing in San Antonio.

As a resident, when you move into a new rental property, you’ll need to understand what you’re responsible for maintaining. If you are coming from owning a home, you’ll likely have less maintenance. If you’re moving from one rental home to another rental home, the requirements and norms may be different, so it’s important to ask. Before you move into your San Antonio rental home, make sure you understand which maintenance items you’ll be responsible for as a resident.
It’s important to check your lease agreement. Leases are typically several pages long, and it might seem unnecessary to read every word. But, you should. The lease agreement includes all the details of what you’re responsible for and what you’re not responsible for. The first place to look for any answers to questions you have during a tenancy is your lease agreement. It’s meant to protect you and your property and the owner. Find out what directions are there.
Before you move into your San Antonio rental property, your landlord or property manager will complete an inventory form that’s designed to document the condition of the property. You’ll be invited to complete your own inventory of the home and make any notes about the damages or wear and tear that you find.This is important. The inventory condition form is your best protection against losing a portion of your security deposit. It’s in your best interest to fill it out completely and if necessary, use it as proof of receipt at the end of the lease. It will allow you to point out anything that was already damaged. If a landlord tries to charge your deposit for a wall that has a hole in it, you can refer back to your inventory condition form and point out that you noticed that hole before you even moved in.The documentation is critical to residents, so take it seriously and fill it out completely.
Ask questions. And once you get the answer, don’t be afraid to ask for the explanation in writing. You want to have all the information in your lease agreement, and if your landlord is answering in a different way or providing conflicting remarks, you’ll want to have everything in writing. Don’t take his or her word for it.Here’s an example. Maybe your landlord will tell you that he is responsible for the lawn care and will send someone over to mow and landscape from time to time. If that never happens and the grass dies, your landlord could charge you for damage to the lawn when you move out. You cannot assume that something’s going to be taken care of. When your landlord says the lawn care isn’t your responsibility, make sure your lease agreement reflects that. If it doesn’t, have something in writing that documents what you have been told is true.Any and all questions should be addressed in the lease. You don’t want any inconsistencies or confusion.Make sure you ask anything you need to ask. Find out if there’s a service charge when you have a maintenance issue and a vendor needs to come out. Ask about whether there’s a policy for how quickly you can expect someone to get back to you and take care of the repair. If you’re expecting a response in an hour but it’s going to take your landlord two days to respond, there may be a conflict. Ask questions so you’re on the same page.Miscommunication makes everyone unhappy. Be willing to have conversations.If you have any questions about what you should expect as a resident, please contact us at Mynd Property Management. We would love to be your San Antonio property management resource.
