As investors ourselves, we know what it takes to get your property rent ready. We will take
the following steps to evaluate your property and get you the highest ROI:
- Complete a physical walkthrough of the property
- Identify any needed repairs
- Identify any changes or upgrades that may produce a higher ROI and present them to you
- Work with you to address any concerns you may have
- Determine how to price your property after reviewing comparable rentals
-
Depending on your plan, evaluate your portfolio annually and analyze
opportunities to make sure you aren’t leaving any money on the table

Marketing
We know how to get your property rented quickly. In fact, we guarantee it (check out our
vacancy filling guarantee here). Our robust marketing and leasing process and system tracks
every tenant prospect we receive. We advertise your property on our website, yard signs,
and the highest-ranking websites like Craigslist, Trulia, Hotpads, Zillow, and Rentals.com,
among others. We are quick to follow-up with every prospect and show them the home the
same day. We show properties during and after hours to get it rented faster.

Tenant Screening
Tenant screening is one of the biggest opportunities for DIY landlords to make a very
costly mistake. It’s far too easy to make a poor tenant selection or inadvertently
violate Fair Housing or local laws. This is where we can add incredible value and
mitigate risk to your property. Our five-stage screening process is one of the best
in the industry. Even with this incredibly thorough screening process, most
applicants are screened within 2 business days.
- Stage 1: Property Setup
Tenant screening starts before we even meet the tenant. We want to make sure
that if a tenant prospect calls for a showing, they know they are a viable candidate.
We achieve that by thoroughly describing and photographing the property so the tenant
knows all the property details before we call. We also use security
deposits to attract much better qualified tenants.
- Stage 2: Prospecting
We capture very valuable information on our first contact with the
prospective tenant. Whether they email or call, we document every interaction,
looking for the red flags only years of experience can spot.
- Stage 3: Sharing Criteria
Prior to a prospect applying, we share the application criteria with them,
which gives them an opportunity to self-select out if they know they don’t meet our criteria.
- Stage 4: Application & Verification
The application is submitted, and we verify the following:
- Who will be living in the unit
- Income & employment status
- Credit
- Prior bankruptcy
- Eviction history
- Criminal records
- Pets
- Personal references
- Prior landlord references
- Stage 5: Delay of Process
If a prospective tenant delays the application & verification or lease signing
process, it’s a red flag not to be ignored. Timely follow-through in this stage
of the relationship is strongly correlated with timely payment of rent and
adhering to the terms of the lease.
-
Security Deposits
Security deposits are collected and held in a qualified trust account by Sunnon
Property Management for the duration of the lease. Security deposits are required
to place a hold on a property and are collected in full at lease signing prior to
move-in. Tenant charges and credits are accounted for throughout the duration of
the lease and after the move-out inspection. Sunnon Property Management handles the
refund of the security deposit to the tenant after the move out inspection within the
timelines that the state of North Carolina stipulates.
-
Lease Preparation
We use automated software to prepare tenant leases. This allows us to quickly
and accurately rent your property faster. Our leases incorporate the latest North
Carolina statute changes and language to protect our owners. We offer flexibility
in the lease writing process through the use of addendums. You can rest assured
knowing all of our lease templates and addenda have been vetted by a licensed real estate attorney.
