We are very conscientious regarding accounting details.
As property managers it is our duty to account for every cent of rent and each expense. All of us work diligently to ensure that each property owner has the opportunity to see exactly where is money is going to and coming from. To accomplish this duty we use one of the most powerful programs in the management business: Rent Manager.
We usually process and deposit rents on the same day they are received. Rents are deposited into an escrow account (not into our operating account). We prepare a monthly statement that states the rental income as well as any expenses that we have paid on the real estate investor's behalf. The monthly statement is also available electronically. The monthly statement will show what funds we are holding on behalf of the real estate investor.
There is no additional charge for the reports or the accounting. Not to mention, Nesbitt Realty never pads the price on the repairs, nor do we charge a fee per repair. Annually, we organize the monthly statements into a year-end report. In January we mail 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.

Who uses Nesbitt Realty management services?
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.
