PropertyWize Realty | Invest Secured By Real Estate

We buy houses using private investors as our banks and share the profits with them. Our private investors get a fixed return on a note and mortgage secured by real estate. They can use funds from savings or even retirement accounts (IRA’s, 401(k), etc).

All About Property Inspections

Each year from April to September, PropertyWize conducts an annual property wellness checkup walk-through visual inspection for each unit/property. Our goal is to check all the safety items, e.g. Smoke Alarms and Carbon-monoxide detectors, and be proactive with the preventive maintenance items, as well as update the inventory checklist on file for each unit. For example, the locations of the water main shutoff valve, electric panel, water heater, furnace filter sizes, etc. We also check for any emergency items that can cause a liability issue.

For doing the prompt inspection we use a happy inspector, it is quite helpful as you can view inspection results as they’re collected, Speed inspections with forms that automatically match the layout of each unit, and identify the correct number of bedrooms and bathrooms. We can attach up to 16 high-resolution photos to each inspection item for objective proof and maximum clarity. We can add comments or note to each item inspected, and store frequently-used comments in our SnapText library for easy access and we can capture item brands, colors, finishes, and unique conditions. They allow inspectors to assess how conditions measure up to standards, so we can benchmark performance and accurately estimate costs. It help us to minimize damage disputes with move-out reports that provide your residents with transparency into item conditions.

Rental Owner Statement

Some tips when running the rental owner statement:

- Check the property beginning balance. At times, changes to past transactions can affect the owner’s running available for payment balance. Running a rental owner statement with a prior start date will help you find discrepancies.
- Run the rental owner statement including the transaction details. Seeing more a more detailed view can also help to find discrepancies or missing transactions.

If you are relying on the dashboard, it doesn’t show any reserves which are very important in calculating your net pay. The effectiveness of the dashboard is to show a glance of your income and expenses but it doesn’t show you the full picture. Our clients use it mostly to click through the blue hyperlinks and
download invoices and receipts.

The dashboard by default uses calendar month, but we define the fiscal month as ends on the 10th of each month for accounting purposes. The dashboard is default by the software, you may select "Custom" in the pull-down menu for "Date range", then you will be able to select the "start date" and "end date" matching our fiscal month cycles.

If this net amount is not matching, we recommend running the rental owner statement report to troubleshoot. The rental owner statement will show you all the transactions affecting the owner’s available cash. It is a great place to find missing or incorrect transactions on the owner’s properties.
