Rapidly changing asset values demand that managegement be knowledgeable concerning business requirements, neighborhoods, state laws, tenant acquisition and various public assistance programs. All that being said, the most important parts of a property managers function are to use common sense, communicate and be honest. (Please take a look at the many customer reviews available from "Customer Lobby" )
Basically, MJM does what any astute owner would do. We assess what is reasonable and practical to make a property profitable and discuss our findings with the investor. We are philosophically committed to creating balance between investors, tenants and neighborhoods in a mutually beneficial synergy. To that end we are strong adherents of the Property Conservation Code of the City of Syracuse and the NYS Property Maintenance Code. We evaluate the amount of rent to be charged with the owners. We advertise for, screen and acquire new tenants.
We collect rents, handle emergencies, take care of repairs and maintenance, meet with city inspectors, handle rental registry requirements and if necessary we initiate and carry out evictions. We automatically provide monthly financial reports to every owner. We do everything in our power to ensure maximized returns and that the owner's stress is minimized, In some cases we handle mortgage payments, insurance and pay water and utility bills. Trustworthiness and professional conduct and clear record keeping are essential.
Acquiring good tenants is a key activity for managers and owners. We have not placed a newspaper ad or used a "for rent" sign in several years because experience has taught us that these two sources do not necessarily provide quality applicants. Instead we exclusively utilize on-line advertising. We ask all applicants to fill out a rental application form which can be completed on line or printed out and filled in by pen. We check references, sources of income, former landlords and gather other information useful in finding tenants who will respect an owner's property, enjoy living in the property, who desire to remain more then one year if possible and who can afford to pay their rent. We use our own lease which is based on the official New York State Residential Lease Form modified to meet the need of the Syracuse market.
