Vetting Tenants — How we protect the landlord’s interests. We Check The Applicant’s Credit History

Credit History

Good great is a good indicator, but is no guarantee of a good tenant. Good credit history indicates that someone pays bills on time and knows how to manage their finances. Renters usually have worse credit than homeowners / landlords.  Bad credit is not an absolute disqualifier. There are perfectly valid reasons why some people have bad credit and some of those people with bad credit can be outstanding tenants.

A credit history check is not the beginning or end but it is a good place to start to get a picture of whom you're dealing with.

 

Property Management Basics

The best part of having Nesbitt Realty as a property manager is that it offers 'separation'. What this means is that your Nesbitt Realty property manager maintains a certain level of separation amongst the landlord, the tenants, and the property. It is common knowledge how very important it is to invest in real estate without being emotionally invested in tenants or property. You will be assigned a Nesbitt Realty property manager who ensures that you make every effort to make the best decision for both you and your family. Your Nesbitt Realty rental property manager is similar to a buffer between the landlord and his tenants. Nesbitt Realty is very capable of finding you tenants, dealing with repair projects and property maintenance, overseeing improvements, collecting rent, and even paying some expenses and taxes. We deal with specific tasks in accordance to the wants and needs of the property owner. Furthermore, having a competent Nesbitt Realty property manager handle your affairs ensures that you are protected from certain liabilities.
