Many landlords think of property management as "someone collects the rent." That is the smallest part of the job. Good management is the difference between a property that quietly loses money and one that behaves like the asset it should be. ## 1. Tenant sourcing and vetting Marketing matters, but background screening matters more: employment stability, previous landlord references, and identity checks. ## 2. On-time collection and remittance Rent is reconciled and remitted directly to the owner's bank account without delays. ## 3. Routine inspections and fast repairs Fixing minor plumbing or electrical faults early protects the capital value of your building and keeps good tenants happy.
