FAQ’s
What should I do first after inheriting a rental property?
First, take a deep breath. It’s best to start by understanding the legal and financial responsibilities involved. We can help guide you through the transition, from assessing the property’s rental potential to getting it rent-ready and managing it long-term.
I inherited tenants, what now?
Inherited tenants are common. We’ll review their lease, assess their rental history, and help you navigate your options fairly and legally.
Why should I choose Real Property Management Consultants?
Real Property Management is the largest residential property management company in North America. This means we have access to great systems and processes, and we have access to a team of people who have been doing this for over 30 years. Additionally, we truly believe in doing quality work. This means taking great care of our owners through communication and being a good steward to their investment. It also means taking great care of tenants. When we do, they tend to take better care of the property, pay on time, and stay longer – all which benefits the owners. Lastly, although our owner is a licensed real estate agent in MO and KS, we made the decision not to sell but to focus only on management. This is another way we try and really make quality a focus in what we do.
