Z Team Property Management Owner Handbook...
OWNER HANDBOOK
OWNER HANDBOOK Dear Property Owner, Thank you for your interest in our property management program. Our team is excited for the opportunity to work with you. Because it is hard to impart our years of real estate experience in a brief letter outlining our process, we have enclosed several different forms and letters in hopes that you will receive an accurate view of our total approach to property management. Always remember that paper work alone does not guarantee a successful experience with investment property. An understanding of your needs, coupled attention to detail increases your chance of a positive outcome (or cash flow). We understand the requirements of our investment property owners, which simplifies our role and allows us the time and energy to concentrate on serving your management needs. To serve you well, we must communicate successfully with you. Our best communication tool is our detailed monthly accounting statement, which is emailed to you and it gives you an exact accounting of the previous month’s activity. The fee structure at Z Team Property Management is very competitive and is based upon rents /monies collected. If your house is vacant, you do not pay management fees until we get it rented. We actively pursue qualified tenants who are willing to care for your home as if they own it. We work to develop a solid relationship with each tenant. Our experience has found that a successful property management program is based on the fragile balance between satisfied & profitable property owners and happy tenants. Happy tenants prefer to stay where they are and renew their lease. We are aware of each property, its history and the owners’ eventual goal for the property. Inspections, scheduled and unscheduled, are necessary to ensure your property is given the level of care you expect. When the need arises for general maintenance, we work only with trusted contractors who are licensed and/or insured. We do not make any money or take a percentage override on repairs you incur while having your home managed by our team. Our team’s extensive Internet marketing and direct communication makes getting your property rented a smooth and successful process. We will also advise you on the absolute best monthly rental rate to charge so that you attract the best tenants possible. We are continually analyzing our procedures, looking for ideas that will improve our process. Your input is very important to us. Please take a minute to review the enclosed forms and information. If you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions, please give us a call. Call us anytime at (847) 804-8706. We look forward to getting to know you and your management needs better. Sincerely yours,
Ruta Dobilas Property Manager, Z Team Property Management

FAQs 1. What fees will I incur if Z Team Property Management manages our property? In general, our fees are 10% of gross monies collected (typically rent) from tenants every month. We also charge a $250 start-up fee & a $250 yearly renewal fee. Our Residential Management Agreement explains our fees in more detail. 2. When will I get my money every month? Rents are due in our office the 1st day of each month. If rents are received by the 5th of the month, disbursements will be mailed or processed by the 5th of each month or the first business day after the 5th, should the 5th fall on a weekend or holiday. As it takes a day or two for banks to process deposits, this means that the deposits should show in your bank account between the 5th & 10th of the month. If rent is late, we will make every effort to get disbursements out to you as quickly as possible after receiving payment. 3. What will I have to do to put my property in management? Initially, all paperwork will be completed and entered into our system. Make sure that you have the home cleaned thoroughly and the lawn manicured prior to listing the home and prior to the tenant moving in. If the tenants go into a clean house with a manicured lawn, we can hold them to the same standards when they move out. Also, the better the property looks, the faster it will rent. All appliances should be in good working order. If they are not in good working order, have them repaired or replaced. Getting a home warranty can give you peace of mind that your appliances and systems in the home will be covered in the event that they fail. 4. What will you do to rent or market my house? We give your home maximum exposure through our Marketing System. We rigorously scrutinize the backgrounds of all prospective tenants. Some of the activities that we utilize in our marketing system include: • FOR RENT SIGNS – Posted at the property with our website and phone number clearly displayed. • MLS – Your rental property data is entered in the Chicagoland Multiple Listing Service (MLS) giving access to other real estate brokers and the many prospective renters who utilize websites with a direct MLS feed. All MLS rental listings are now available to home searchers through the various public internet gateways, such as Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com and Z Team Management website as well as many others. • INTERNET LISTINGS – Our inventory of currently listed homes for rent are posted online on the most popular rental websites complete with
Page 3
847-804-8706 | www.ZTeamPM.com
FAQs (continued) photos, maps and property details for the convenience of those searching for a new home. We post our rental listings to Craigslist, Realtor. com, Homes.com, Zillow, Trulia, BestChicagoProperties.com, Propertyshark.com and others. • WORD OF MOUTH / REFERRALS – Current and past tenants, friends of our tenants, and referrals from other successful real estate agents • CORRECT PRICING – Even the best and most incredible homes will not lease if they are overpriced. We make sure your rental home is priced correctly from the very beginning so that we get your home leased quickly and for the highest rent possible. Remember that no amount of marketing can overcome an overpriced listing. • THOROUGH PREPARATION – Even the best located and well-priced rental homes will not lease quickly if the rental home is not in top showing condition. Homes for rent absolutely must show well and have an attractive “curb appeal” or they may sit empty for extended periods. Our job as your property manager is to make sure your home is presented to the prospective tenants in a clean and attractive condition so that it will attract the absolute best tenants. 5. What happens when my home becomes vacant? Our first concern with your empty home is: “What is needed to place a new tenant into your home as soon as possible?” We know that every day a home sits empty is a wasted opportunity and a non-recoverable cost. A “For Rent” sign is placed in front of the property usually after the 60 day notice is received from the tenant. (It is not uncommon for us to re-rent a home before it becomes vacant.) When the property becomes vacant, it is inspected and digitally photographed. From the information gathered at the home and using our inspection report and photos, we will determine what needs to be done to get your home rented again and what repairs are chargeable to the prior tenant’s deposit. We will also review with you any updates or repairs that we feel will be needed to attract the absolute best tenants. 6. How are tenants screened? Our tenant screening process is twophased. We first require all tenants, over the age of 18, to undergo a credit report check. After we receive the credit report, we make three phone calls. We call the prospective tenant’s current landlord, prior landlord and employer. The current landlord provides us with a recap of the tenant’s most recent payment performance, as well as any comments or problems they have experienced. The prior landlord gives us an overview of the tenant including, but not limited to, how the applicant left their former home. The employer verifies their wage, length of employment, and often offers
Page 4
FAQs (continued) additional insights. Before we rent to anyone, we feel we’ve gotten to know them pretty well. 7. Can I exclude smokers, pets, or children? Z Team Property Management generally prohibits smoking in the interest of protecting your investment. Tenants with pets are a large majority of the market for rental homes. Pet owners are not a protected class, but allowing pets increases the number of potential renters. We charge tenants with pets $25 per pet per month. This is a “fee” not a “deposit” so the fee is non-refundable to the tenant. If you feel very strongly about not allowing pets, we will agree not to show your property to anyone with pets. Children are under the protected class of “familial status”. It is not possible or legal to discriminate against anyone with children. 8. If a tenant fails to pay rent, how long does it take to get them out? This is not an issue we deal with frequently. By offering a good product and a thorough screening, we find that we are seldom in this situation. But, when we are faced with a delinquent and uncooperative tenant, we are just as effective in the eviction process. Start to finish, a tenant who does not pay their rent is typically removed within 45 days from when their rent was due. 9. What if a tenant skips or leaves before the lease expires? Tenants are responsible for rent through the expiration of the lease. If a tenant skips, we will secure the property by changing the locks, make any repairs to bring the property back to rentable standards and will begin to try to re-rent the property. We will also attempt to locate the tenant and collect outstanding rents, damages, and any other costs. If a tenant breaks their lease, they remain liable for the rents through the day that your home is rented again or through the end of the lease, whichever occurs first. (We cannot collect rent from two parties for the same time period.) Most tenants do not want negative reporting on their credit and our tenant screening procedures help ensure that we have as few incidents as possible. 10. How do you make sure the tenant is taking good care of my home while renting? There are several ways your property manager learns whether the tenant is taking care of the home. Above all, careful
Page 5

FAQs (continued) tenant selection from the outset protects your property from being rented to irresponsible people. During the lease term, we may have occasion to enter the property for repair or maintenance reasons and will use that opportunity to have a look. If we are fortunate enough not to have any repairs or maintenance at your property over an extended period of time, your property manager will schedule a preventative maintenance walk-through once a year so that there are no unreported problems at the property. 11. What do you do if they are not taking care of my property as they should or if they have unauthorized pets? Your property manager gives the tenant an opportunity to correct the situation and usually they will. If a problem persists, we will make a decision based on that specific situation. 12. How long will my property sit vacant? Unfortunately, we cannot predict who will walk through our door and what properties they will want to rent, or if they will even have adequate credit. We make every effort to lease a property as quickly as possible. Vacant properties are costly to both of us. The time of year, the condition of the property, location and price all factor into the time it takes to lease a property. Generally, the rental market does go through slow periods, but most properties rent within one to two months, some even within weeks. 13. Can I do my own repairs or use my own contractor? As a protection for you, the tenants, and our company, we require that all contractors doing work at managed properties be licensed. To maintain good trust with our tenants, we ask that they be able to respond and complete all work in a timely manner. 14. Who handles emergencies? Z Team Property Management Experts will handle all emergency and non-emergency repairs 24 hours a day. We will keep you informed, but you will never receive a call in the middle of the night. 15. How often are inspections performed? During the lease term, we may have occasion to enter the property for repair or maintenance reasons and will use that opportunity to have a look. If we are fortunate enough not to have any repairs or maintenance at your property over an extended period of time, your property manager will schedule a preventative maintenance walk-thru at least once a year.
