The Companies Act is the act under which property management companies are incorporated and this means they have to be compliant with company law provisions. These companies are capable of handling legal and other property issues as they are comprised of professional managers. The company is vested with the responsibility of dealing with a myriad of property related problems. Many of these are small businesses and may not even be equipped with simple e-mail technology.

There are many property marketing related services that property managers offer. They attempt to find a qualified resident and also render services by evaluating residents, getting leases signed and also renewing the same. Other services are upkeep of the property and lease negotiations and renewals. The company also provides support to the managers and has in-house staff to lead to a collaborative effort. The main objective is to make the project commercially viable and enhance the value of the project at the same time. But to do this, laws relating to building codes, affirmative action rules and commercial business practices need to be adhered to.

When it comes to the area of evicting recalcitrant and problematic residents, these residential property managers are able to save costs substantially. Also, when it comes to getting information about the property, residents want to know more than just unintelligible abbreviations like w/d, hw fl, d/w, a/c. Those who want to move into the building would like to see floor plans, know details of the building and also information dealing with its location.

If property managers are paid to let a property from a landlord’s side, they have to be associated with a licensed Real Estate Agent. Regulation also states that if they don’t take a brokerage or letting fee, but take a part of the rental income, they would be outside the purview of regulation. These managers also have in-depth knowledge of interior and exterior work, plumbing, electrical and other systems that are material for a building. There are annual maintenance contracts that are valid too and these managers look at various residential, commercial farms and ranch properties.

In addition to all these services, it is possible to get some accounting services from property management companies. This includes providing a monthly statement that documents various monthly income and expense items relating to the management company on your property.

Desert Realty, Inc.

The main concern every investor asks of a rental management company is cost.  The monthly fees are 10% of a month’s rent for managine a single unit, 9% for two units managed, and 8% for 3 or more units managed.  To cover any accidents that might need a quick fix a reserve of $200.  A security deposit of one month’s rent is held by in a trust account by Desert Realty.

Keeping the passive income flowing from your Las Vegas investment property is crucial, and finding new tenants from a few states away would be a hassle.  Desert Realty, Inc. can search for new tenants for certain fees.  To advertise a vacant property the cost is $95 per month.  Once a new tenant is placed, there is a $295 leasing fee.  Background checks are performed by all applicants, who pay $40 for this process.  The checks include credit, sex offender, previous landlord, and eviction reports.  There is also a background check into the applicants funds to make sure they can afford the monthly rent which avoids problems in the future.

During emergencies the tenant or investment property owner should call the office.  After business hours an answering service is available, with calls forwarded to an oncall employee of Desert Realty.  This is important both to keep tenants happy in the unlikely event of a water or power emergency, but also to let owners get in touch with the individuals managing their Las Vegas investment property.

Desert Realty currently manages properties in the Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson areas.  They specialize in residential properties and are currently not taking on management of condo units.  Beverly Long also suggested that the rental market in Las Vegas has been tough, with the supply of units to rent, but also mentioned things are beginning to pick up.  For more information, or to contact the company, please see the below information.
