We are very meticulous with accounting issues.
As property managers it is our solemn charge to reconcile every cent of income and each expense. All of us work hard to make sure that each real estate investor has the opportunity to see exactly where is money is going to and coming from. To accomplish this task we use one of the most powerful software tools in our profession: Rent Manager.
We usually process and deposit rents on the same day they are received. Funds are deposited into an escrow account (not into our operating account). We prepare a monthly statement that shows the rental income as well as any bills which we have paid on the rental property owner's behalf. The monthly statement is also available electronically. The monthly statement will describe what monies we are holding on behalf of the landlord.
There is no additional charge for the reports or the accounting. Also, Nesbitt Realty never marks up the repairs, nor do we charge a fee per repair. At the end of the year, we organize the monthly statements into a year-end statement. In January we send to the property owners, and to the IRS, a 1099 stating the income for the rental property. Use the 1099 to prepare your taxes or simply hand the 1099 to your tax preparer.

Your investment in real estate is a business like any other. As a landlord, you have expenses, income and with perseverance, you also have the expectation of financial reward.
In the business of real estate investment, nearly all cashflow comes from tenants. And that's the catch: If you have tenants, you will have problems. Even the best of tenants have needs and all properties will require maintenance or management at some point. A property management company takes all the hassle out of rental management.
