Common questions
If your tenant is stable and long-term, Essential at $199/mo is great — you’ll rarely trigger the add-ons. If you’re placing a new tenant or expect turnover, All-Inclusive pays for itself: one placement alone costs $1,500 on Essential vs $0 on All-Inclusive.
Within 24–48 hours of the tenant’s payment clearing. Automatically deposited — no waiting for a check.
Never. Every vendor bid is visible in your owner portal. The 5% repair coordination fee on Essential only applies to projects over $1,000 and covers our management time — not a markup on materials or labor.
No. Month-to-month only. Cancel anytime with no penalty — we earn your business every month.
We take over immediately at no charge. No setup fee, no placement fee. Zero disruption to your tenant.
