Virginia property management

We manage single-family homes/condos/townhomes to ensure landlords and investors maximize their properties' potential income and manage the asset. We also have licensed real estate agents who will help you with buying new investment properties or selling your home if your investment plan changes. Our mission is to simplify real estate investing for everyone while building stronger communities.

For management services, packages start at $130 per month. We collect 100% of one month's rent for tenant placement.

We have a streamlined process that your tenants can utilize to ensure we get the proper response and attention the tenant and property needs. The owner is only informed of repairs that are over $500 prior to the start of work.

Yes, as long as they are licensed and insured.

Scheduled to visit the property once every 12 months. There is an additional fee of $200 for each extra visit.

We are known for finding tenants in as little as 7 days. Depending on the season and time of year, it will take 7-21 days on average.

The property gets maximum exposure by being listed on over 100 + websites, including getting added to the MLS. Flat Fee Landlord has managed over 2,000 properties, so we also have an exclusive list of preferred tenants based on our experience with them before.

We utilize our ‘Perfect 10ant’ process, which carries a 99% success rate. We check 10 areas on every application to ensure it’s the best possible fit for the property. To ensure we find you the best possible fit for the property, every application must have 10 areas checked, which include:

• Identification verification
• Income verification
• Interviewing previous landlords
• Credit check
• Rental history
• Employment verification
• Criminal History
• Sex offender check
• Checking for bankruptcy
• Short sale of foreclosure for previous 5 years

A 30-day guarantee on finding a tenant or you get 2 months of management fees waived once tenant is found. Also, we offer a 9-month assurance on the tenant we place. If they break the lease early for any reason, we will locate and place a new tenant at no cost to the owner. Also backed with eviction protection, where we will cover all costs of eviction (excluding legal representation fees, etc.) if eviction occurs within the first 9 months of lease start.

No. We strongly encourage not communicating with the tenant. All correspondence between the tenant and owner should go through Flat Fee Landlord to ensure efficient communication and keep your mind free of property management.

The tenant is responsible for all utilities, not including the HOA/condo fees. The property owner is responsible for continuing to pay HOA/condo fees. If the property is vacant, the homeowner must continue to pay utilities until a new tenant is placed.

It’s best to speak with your insurance company for this information, but you can change the policy to reflect a ‘Landlord Policy.’ This is different from ‘Renters Insurance,’ which is commonly mistaken.

Our services are designed to assist with the turnover of the property as long as property management services are active at the time. We do not do this if the owner cancels their services at the end of the lease. If property management services are canceled at the end of the lease, then the owner is responsible for the move-out report and the transfer of the security deposit back to the tenant.

We manage a portfolio of over $100 million.

Yes. This service is offered in our "Bronze Package." Additional services in our bronze package include:

We have a process that starts renewal discussions with the owner at least 90 days prior to the lease ending. We will conduct a market analysis, negotiate a new rent, and write a new lease. A renewal incurs a $450 fee.

We do have 24/7 phone support for after-hours emergencies. We troubleshoot as much as we can over the phone to help eliminate unnecessary expenses to the homeowner for non-emergency matters.

The resident is responsible for lawn care/landscaping unless otherwise defined in the lease agreement. If a resident doesn't manage the lawn and incurs HOA fines, then scheduled lawncare may be applied to their ledger.
