Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Am I required to make my property available to Section 8?

Do I get to see the lease or sign it?
Absolutely. As the property owner, you have full visibility into the lease agreement before it goes into effect. We handle the lease execution on your behalf as your dedicated management partner, but we keep you informed and in control of your investment every step of the way. -
Do you sell real estate too?
As active real estate investors ourselves, we understand the full investment lifecycle. While our core focus is property management, we are happy to discuss available options around buying or selling and connect you with the right resources to support your long-term strategy. -
How and when do I get my checks?
Owner disbursements are processed on a consistent monthly schedule, typically via direct deposit, after rent has been collected and any applicable expenses have been accounted for. Transparency in your financials is something we take seriously. -
How is rent collection handled?
We offer multiple rent payment options, including online payments, to make the process as efficient as possible for tenants and owners alike. Late payments are handled swiftly and in accordance with the lease terms, because protecting your cash flow is a priority we do not take lightly. -
How long of a lease do you sign?
Standard leases are typically twelve months, which provides stability for both the owner and the tenant. Depending on market conditions and your investment goals, other lease term options may be available and we will always recommend what makes the most strategic sense for your property. -
How much security deposit do you charge the tenant?
Security deposit amounts are determined in alignment with Lubbock market standards and Texas legal requirements. The specific amount may vary based on factors such as monthly rent and tenant qualifications, and we will always make sure it reflects the best protection for your property. -
How soon can you start managing my property?
We can get started as soon as the management agreement is in place and your property is ready to lease. Our team moves efficiently because we know that vacant days cost you money, and minimizing that gap is part of how we protect your investment. -
What type of properties do you manage?
We specialize in single-family home management across the Lubbock market, and also work with a range of residential properties including multi-family units and condos. Every property we take on is treated with the same strategic care we apply to our own portfolios. -
What type of reports do I get and how often?
You will receive regular financial statements that break down rent collection, expenses, and maintenance activity in a clear and transparent format. We believe informed owners make better investment decisions, and providing you with meaningful data is a core part of what we do. -
Who holds the tenant security deposit?
Security deposits are held in a dedicated account in compliance with Texas state law and local regulations. We handle this process with full transparency so that both you and your tenant are protected from day one.
