Owner FAQs
Why should I hire a professional property management company to manage my property?
Different individuals have varying reasons to hire professional management. One is to hire an expert. A professional management company deals with managing property every day and may have insight into property management that an owner that is self-managing may not have. A second reason is time. Hiring a professional company that you can trust to get the job done allows you as an investor to have peace of mind and to spend your valuable time on planning your future investments, other endeavors, or just relaxing.

We use a combination of thoroughly examining the properties applications and reviewing the applicant’s rental, work, and credit histories in making our decisions. We have tweaked our screening process over the years to get it where it is now. Knowing that having the right tenant in our client’s properties being half the battle, we know we must be as thorough as possible.
How will I know what is going on with my property?
IPS Management provides a monthly financial statement along with a monthly email update on each of your properties. The financial statement shows how much money is available at month’s end on your client account and a monthly income statement. We also send a year-end statement for you and your accountant/tax preparer. Available funds are sent via ACH each month to your business bank account.
How do you handle maintenance requests?
We handle maintenance requests through either our in-house maintenance team or through licensed contractors. We assess each repair, and determine whether it is “normal wear and tear” or if a tenant charge will be assessed. On repairs above a $250 threshold, we communicate with owners to make a decision on how to proceed.
