Dunedin Property Manager recommendation

[annaspanna]

Please?
What questions should I ask before appointing a PM to manage a Dunedin Property?

[Orkibi]

I can recommend talking with Mana Property Management:

Questions to ask a Property Manager before you hire them.
1. What is your fee structure?
2. Do you charge an inspection fee?
3. How many properties do you manage?
4. How often and how do you distribute the income for the client’s bank account?
5. How much do you charge for Rental appraisal and manage maintenance or repairs.
6. Tenant selection: do you carry credit checks on potential tenants? And obtain a bond from the tenants for security? How much?
7. For how long do you make leases for?
8. How easy do you make it for prospective tenants to view a property?
9. What is your procedure of dealing with arrears?
10. Do you charge the Tenant a letting fee when they sign up for the tenancy?
11. What are Additional costs: advertising, etc.

Propertyscouts

Orkibi's suggestions are excellent. I would recommend Jeanette Aspin from Propertyscouts in Dunedin, she's brilliant. Very knowledgeable, experienced and just lovely to deal with. The reason why people keep referring her is because she actually cares about her clients. Just give her a call? 03 4779228

5. How much do you charge for Rant appraisal and manage maintenance or repairs.

This made me smile. If the rant is good enough there should be no charge!

I'm Happy I made you smile DR !! :-)

What about a good Dunedin Valuer? One that understands Investment properties.
