Reserve & approval policy

We set clear financial boundaries upfront so there are no surprises when maintenance comes up.

Owner Reserve
$500
Held on file for routine and urgent repairs so work isn't delayed by funding. Replenished from rent proceeds when used.
Approval Threshold
$500
We contact you before authorizing any non-emergency repair over $500. You get clear options and an estimate before any work begins.
Emergency Exception
Safety first
Emergencies (flooding, gas leaks, fire damage) are handled immediately. You're updated as soon as the situation is stabilized.

Why we hold a reserve

A small reserve means we can act fast when something breaks — no delays waiting for funding, no back-and-forth on small repairs. It protects the property and keeps tenants happy, which protects your rental income. The reserve is your money, fully accounted for in your monthly statement, and returned if you ever leave.

What to expect as an owner

Once you're onboarded, here's what ongoing management looks like — steady, transparent, and organized.

Monthly owner statements
Clear income and expense breakdowns delivered with your payout. You'll always know where the money went.
Payouts by the 10th
Owner payouts are issued by the 10th of each month, every month. Consistent and on time.
Photo updates on repairs
When maintenance happens, you get photos of the issue and the completed work — so you can see what was done without being there.
Annual inspection (optional)
We offer an annual property walkthrough with proper tenant notice to catch small issues before they become big ones.
Steady communication
We don't disappear. You'll hear from us when something matters — and you can always reach us when you need to.
No renewal fees
When a tenant renews their lease, you don't pay a fee. We believe in earning your business through service, not hidden charges.
