Owner FAQs

What should I expect with my first month’s expenses as a new owner?

The first month’s charges include:

    • Leasing fee = 1/2 the first month’s rent (one-time only charge with new tenants)
    • Management Fee = 10% of monthly rent (monthly)
    • Maintenance Turn Fee = $60 – In order to ensure a smooth transition between tenants, our Maintenance Manager conducts an inspection and completes the following items:
      • Replace burned-out bulbs
      • Replace Furnace filter
      • Check for proper operation of cabinets, doors, plumbing fixtures, appliances, lights, and window treatments
      • Remove picture hardware from walls and repair as necessary
      • Replace caulking on interior as needed
      • Lubricate garage doors and track
      • Adjust and lubricate exterior door hardware
      • Advise on any preventative maintenance that might be needed
    • Coordination Fee – $100 (for above materials, 1099, application fees, keys, etc.)
    • Any repairs (beyond above list) that we may find when we go through the property to get it ready

All of the above fees are deducted from rent when it comes in, so none of this requires you to write us a check.

I have accessed my Owner’s Statement, but I still have questions about it.

Please email your questions to our Accounting Manager, Joanna ( Joanna@TJCRealEstate.com ) and she will get back to you as soon as possible.

My property is currently for lease, how many showings has my property had?

Each property available for lease is evaluated on a weekly basis.  We review showing feedback, number of showings, pricing strategies, etc. to determine if any changes need to be made.  You will receive a weekly update from Janessa White, Leasing Agent & Property Manager (Janessa@TJCRealEstate.com), but please feel free to reach out in the meantime with any questions or concerns.

When does my tenant’s lease end?

Please email your questions to Janessa White, Leasing Agent & Property Manager (Janessa@TJCRealEstate.com).

Why do I need to fill out a W-9?

We are required by law to send you a 1099 each tax year for your rent income and expenses.  In order to do this, we need a SSN or Tax ID number from you (you only need to fill it out once).  To access the form, click here:  W-9 Form Please send completed form to our Accounting Manager, Joanna ( Joanna@TJCRealEstate.com ).

When will I receive my 1099 each year?

The IRS requires that 1099s are sent out each year by February 28th, but TJC strives to have them completed and mailed out by the end of January (provided we have your SSN or Company ID on account). TJC also provides Year-End statements each year, which are posted to your Owner’s Portal as a 12-Month Cash Flow report.

How is the rent income calculated on my 1099?

1099 Rent amounts are based on Gross Rental Income, and includes any Move-Out costs that are deducted from returned Security Deposits.  Please consult your accountant for all tax-related questions.
