We are working hard to make Perkins Property Management the best choice for those who own investment property in the Jacksonville, FL area. We are looking to assist owners in Fleming Island, Orange Park, Green Cove Springs, and Middleburg. Many homeowners are turning their homes into investment houses out of necessity. They are having trouble selling the houses at the prices they want, and so they are deciding to lease it until the market is more favorable for a sale. My guess is they will be glad they did if they hold the house for a couple of years. A thousand people are moving to Florida every week, and Northeast Florida is one of the fastest growing parts of Florida.

Add to that, there is increased demand for good rentals and that is a recipe for a profitable investment. NAS Jacksonville is a great source of tenants. Military personnel are not buying unless they are retiring after the current tour of duty. They don't want to take a chance on a flat market that could cause them to carry money to closing when they transfer. They also look for multiple-year leases that cover their tour of duty. So what should the prospective landlord look for in a great property manager?

First and foremost, the property manager has to maximize the landlords return on equity. The Perkins Team does this by tying the marketing into our sales business and not a separate enterprise. We do the following:

• Each rental property is placed on our Multiple List Service (MLS).
• We advertise the property in our direct mail and internet marketing (ie. Realtor.com).
• We place a lock box on every property for easy Realtor Showings.
• Showings are done 7 days a week and evenings, not 9-5, Monday-Friday as almost all Property Managers do.
• Tenants are carefully screened for credit/rent history/criminal check at no cost to the Landlord.
• Repairs are made only after the Perkins Team looks at it; often we repair it at no cost to the Landlord.
• No charge for finding the tenant.

Pick the Perkins for Property Management. It doesn't cost anything to talk to us but it may cost you if you don't.
