Let us first provide you with an overview of how property management typically works.
Most local real estate investors choose to manage their properties personally. In this scenario, a real estate agent's involvement concludes once a tenant is secured. Subsequently, day-to-day matters are handled directly between landlords and tenants.
While this approach reduces expenses linked to hiring professional rental property management firms, it also necessitates landlords to be continuously available to address issues promptly. This can cost substantial time and energy, particularly for non-resident investors managing properties from a distance.
Numerous landlords opt for comprehensive professional rental property management companies, which charge between 8-10% of the gross rent in today's market. Non-resident landlords also incur an annual fee of $500-$750 to file non-resident taxes with Revenue Canada.
These companies additionally levy fees for property inspections during tenant turnover. Moreover, they oversee or coordinate repairs, routine maintenance, and associated services.
At times, rental property management firms impose surcharges ranging from 10-12% of gross repair costs to supervise property enhancements. Fees may also apply for visiting vacant properties.
Leveraging our extensive real estate expertise, which encompasses property acquisition, sales, and rentals for individual landlords, we understand that enlisting a full-time rental property management company can at times strain an investor's financial resources. Moreover, property owners who opt for self-management of their rental properties are likely to agree that this responsibility can become overwhelming, particularly for those who are located outside the area or even abroad.
From a savvy investor's standpoint, the decision to engage a full-time property management firm may not always align with a prudent financial strategy.
In pursuit of enhancing the value of your real estate investment, Team Kalia introduced an à la carte property rental management program in 2010.
This distinctive offering is designed to provide peace of mind to our investor clients (buyers), leading to significant cost savings in rental property management, while concurrently boosting their confidence in real estate investment.
It is important to emphasize that this program is exclusively accessible through Team Kalia for investors who acquire their investment properties from us. Notably, this program's availability extends no obligations to other sales professionals at RE/MAX Real Estate Centre Inc. Brokerage.
