So, what do you do?

What do you tell someone who asks about your job? How would you explain what you do?

Here's our explanation-
Alann is a rental property manager. He finds people who own a house that want or need to find a tenant to rent the house from them. He evaluates the unit and helps the owner decide on a fair amount to expect from the rental. He then markets said property and attempts to secure a tenant for that amount. He runs background checks on potential tenants to ensure the unit will be taken care of properly. Every month, the tenant writes a check to Provident Property Management for the rent. Alann takes care of any maintenance or needs of the property, and writes a check for the balance to the owner.

"Does Provident only manage houses?"
No, of course not! Alann will manage any rental property- single family houses, duplexes, triplexes, apartment complexes. If someone owns a property that is legally considered a dwelling, Alann can manage it for the owner.

"What about investors with multiple units? Can Provident manage multiple units?"
Of course! Imagine the ease of only dealing with one check at the end of the month, instead of dealing with multiple checks coming in at various times throughout the month. With that check comes an itemized listing of any maintenance or other expenses associated with the properties, so the investor (you!) always knows exactly where his money is going. Imagine the ease of knowing that all of the units are rented, and if there are vacancies, that someone else is managing those vacancies and working to fill them as quickly as possible.

"What if I just want to rent my home out for a short time, say until the market turns around and I can sell it?"
Perfect! We can definitely help you. Provident doesn't make you sign a contract for a specific amount of time. To make things simple, we focus on tenant-terms. If you come to us with a house that you want to rent for a year, you pay the $150 set up fee (discussed under pricing), then we work on getting a tenant. When the tenant's lease is up, you are free to leave for whatever reason. We won't charge you a going-away fee if the unit is vacant. If you choose to continue allowing us to manage, there is no cost to you to get a new tenant.
