Self-Managing a Rental Property is Stressful
Have you considered all aspects of managing your own investment property?
We think of everything so you don’t have to.
Maintenance Request
We hire licensed and insured people to clean, paint or make repairs when necessary and answer phone calls from tenants 24/7 and handle emergencies. Any work needed will be done by a licensed contractor. Blackbird Realty has vetted all the contractors normally needed for repairs at your property and have proof of general liability as well as worker’s compensation insurance for any contractor used.
We are licensed property managers and do not perform any maintenance. We leave that to the experts. Tenant safety and satisfaction are a priority.
Essentially, everything that's in the house needs to be up to code. Whenever we prepare a house for lease, we use state-licensed contractors. It's actually required by the statute. All of the contractors that we use are required to carry general liability insurance and workers' comp insurance.

Properties from our website are syndicated out to many popular websites such as Zillow, Realtor.com, Hotpads.com.
Tenant Screening and Background Checks
Prospective tenants will be screened to determine if they have the ability to pay, proof of employment or adequate funds to pay the rent. Past landlord verification and criminal background checks are also conducted as part of the screening process and then all information is compiled to look at the applicant in a weighted process.

We provide leasing services for any Owner that wants to self-manage his/her property and keep track of when those leases would need to be renewed. As part of our property management services where the owner isn’t self-managing, we evaluate the market 60 days prior to lease renewal and adjust the rent price based on market conditions and owner desires.
We report and collect the rent and provide a conduit between tenant and owner for problem resolution whenever possible. We pay all bills associated with the property at the Owner’s direction. Rent collection services are provided to make it easy for a tenant to pay his/her rent. Options for online payments are available for 24/7 access or at participating 7Eleven or CVS pharmacies.
Accounting, Online Portal and Payments
Owner statements are published monthly and available for viewing, downloading 24/7 through the Owner portal. Rental proceed payments are directly deposited in the owner’s account under normal circumstances by the 10th of the month depending on availability. Late rental payments can cause owner distribution to be delayed.
Regular property inspections are performed by licensed inspectors twice a year to determine if any problems exist. Early detection of water leaks, HVAC, or pest control problems can save hundreds of dollars. Photographs document the condition at the time of the inspection. In addition, walk through evaluations are accomplished at lease renewal.
Rent payments are due on the 1st of each month and considered late thereafter. We allow 2 days of grace before charging the late fee and beginning the eviction process. On the 4th of the month, the Ex-Official Constable is hired to serve the 5-day pay or quit notice on each tenant in default. The response from the tenant determines what happens next.
Enter your rental property address to receive a personalized property report with suggested rent range and local market data. The true property value may increase or decrease based on amenities, condition of the home and the location of the home.

A review or testimonial whether positive or negative give the property management company valuable feedback on how well they and the vendors they use are performing. The majority of our reviews and testimonials are positive but we have a few negative quotes. If all the reviews are positive and nothing but 5 stars remember that old saying that it was too good to be true. No one is perfect, and the ratings should show that.
TestimonialsAny agent who wants to refer us a property management client will be paid a referral for doing so.
When it comes time for that client to buy or sell that home, we recognize that it was referred for property management and not for sale and would not take a listing to sell it without your approval.
