YOU HAVE VISION SO DO WE

MEET JAKE DURTSCHI OUR FOUNDEROur unique business approach to property management starts with our

founder Jake Durtschi Jake began investing in Idaho real estate in 2002

after extensive research The first few properties Jake took on as an investor

had huge issues with deferred maintenance

Jake realized early on that many property managers were getting by

with a short-term mindset They didnrsquot see what their properties

could be They were missing out on returns because they didnrsquot

want to spend a dollar today to make two tomorrow

Jake managed every detail of his properties in the beginning

learning the ins and outs of how to manage for long-term

growth As he began to conceptualize Jacob Grant Property

Management he analyzed what others were doing too

ldquoIrsquom naturally curiousrdquo Jake shares ldquoIrsquom continually

looking at how other management companies

apartment communities and even individual owners are

managing their own assets Itrsquos given me special insight

into where people make moneyrdquo

One of Jakersquos strengths is visualizing what your properties could

look like As an investor himself he understands the big picture

He can help you make the connection between rental decisions

(such as lease terminations or maintenance) and your profit and

loss statement

Jake has built a skilled and friendly team to guide you through real

estate investing and property management Hersquos committed to

ensuring his employees are engaged because attitude is contagious

Yoursquoll notice a clear difference in your interactions with us - from our

communication with you to the strategic counsel we offer

Jacob Grant Property Management markets properties

according to investment goals With a typical portfolio vacancy

rate of 3-4 investors can rest assured that industry best

practices are being used to market your property and rent it as

quickly as possible

BEST PRACTICES IN MARKETING

MARKET RENT

One of the most important factors in renting your property

quickly is setting the rental rate ldquojust rightrdquo If rent is set too

high vacancy expense skyrockets If it is set too low there is

lost income opportunity

EXPOSURE

The best marketing uses the least amount of funds to create

the most qualified traffic Properties that are vacant or are

on notice to be vacant shortly are marketed aggressively

This improves the number of prospective tenants looking at

the property Your rental property will be immediately placed in

front of hundreds of prospective tenants on multiple free and

paid Internet Listing websites and paid advertising platforms

Jacobgrantcom gives all mobile and desktop computer users

live access to listed properties Listings include pictures

virtual tours utilities information pet information and full

descriptions of the property

AVAILABILITY

The targeted market for filling your rental property are

responsible prospective renters that often times have jobs

In order to target people that have 9-5 jobs availability

must include times that are convenient for them Telephone

answering services are available until 6pm weekdays and

include Saturday hours Evening and weekend email response

is available until 8pm

ATTRACTION

When marketing the rental property quantity is important

but quality of the lead is even more important Is marketing

in front of prospective renters that are likely to be highly

qualified Marketing is web based targeting mobile and

desktop users on jacobgrantcom and Internet Listing Sites

with the highest conversion of well qualified tenants

MARKETING STRATEGY DETAILS

likelihood that your property will be rented by quality

tenants thereby reducing turnover rates and increasing

cash flow An objective scoring system rates

bull Length of previous residency

bull Length of employment

bull Rent to income ratio

goals In fact the average cost of tenant turnover is

$1500-$2000 (see table) The Jacob Grant Property

Management System is designed to retain well-qualified

residents The minor expense of retaining a well-qualified

tenant is far less than the expense of turnover

Deferred maintenance can cause substantial financial impact

to your property value and your cash flow Preventative

responsive and emergency maintenance services position your

property to perform according to your financial goals

PRESENTATIONMaintenance impacts presentation of your home A clean

well maintained rental property attracts highly qualified

tenants A highly qualified tenant is more likely to reduce your

maintenance expense and is much less likely to experience

early termination of the lease agreement

PREVENTIONA preventive program reduces maintenance expense by an

estimated factor of 10 and keeps your property in better

condition Regular maintenance surveys are scheduled

bi-annually or quarterly You will have the option to include

regular fertilization furnace tune-up pest control and other

property services that reduce overall maintenance costs and

maximize the quality of your real estate investment

PROTECTIONRegular maintenance surveys emergency services and

drive-by reports protect your asset by reporting and addressing

problems prior to escalation which typically adds more cost

and causes discomfort for tenants which reduces renewal

rate In addition ongoing regular maintenance maximizes the

value of your real estate investment when you want to sell the

property

ldquoWhen i became interested in building a real estate portfolio I contacted all the

local property managers Jake Durtschi at Jacob Grant Property Management stood

out because of his willingness to work with me so I could grow my portfolio faster

With Jacob Grant I stay very involved in major decisions quarterly reporting

and reviewing property inspections Yet I let them handle lease contracts

finding quality tenants and the day-to-day needs

Accounting

ACCESS TO FINANCIAL

RECORDS

In addition to providing monthly detailed and customizable

reports detailing transactions on rental properties there are

several accounting services provided These services are

designed to protect owner funds and tenant funds from misuse

theft and comingling

bull Monthly statement with online access

bull Separate bank account for operating funds

bull Separate bank account for tenant security deposits

bull Bi-monthly security deposit balance

bull Third party reconciliation

bull Fidelity Bond protects funds up to $100000

There have been several local and state level stories in

which property managers or companies mismanage funds

The problem is not typically theft The problem is usually

competency Mishandled or co-mingled funds can lead to

substantial loss in investorrsquos security deposits or reserves

The common thread is that the property manager is able to

hide the loss by covering it with other assets

Avoid becoming a victim by knowing how your funds are held

and what practices are being implemented to protect funds

related to your rental property

When management begins all investors are given the

opportunity to detail their financial goals in the format of

an annual budget This process clarifies expectations and

becomes the first step in specifically meeting owner goals

Once these financial goals are created they are referenced

once each quarter Goals are referenced in a ldquoGoals Versus

Actualsrdquo report that analyzes financial performance compared

to the budget This process increases communication

and accountability and keeps property managers and

owners focused on the goal With the end in mind portfolio

performance improves substantially

Goals directed management also provides investors with

a projection tool to create a detailed roadmap in moving

forward with other real estate investments With historical

data on different types of property investors can project likely

performance on prospective real estate investments in order to

determine whether the investment fits with investor goals

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Would you rather have a 6 fee with half a monthrsquos rent for

a lease signing fee Or would you rather pay 10 of all rent

collected

EXAMPLE

You have a house that rents for $800month

6 of rent for the year is $576

Lease signing costs $400 = $976

10 of rents = $960

With turnover typically being the largest expense in property

management do you want to pay your management company

to create more turnover Owners are responsible for the costs

of advertising This includes payment for internet advertising

and Internet Listing Sites Jacob Grant secures advertising at

a discounted rate That discounted rate gets passed to the

property owner

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR MULTI-PROPERTY PORTFOLIOSYes there is typically a discount for multiple properties

Other factors included are condition of the property type

location and owner goals Pricing ranges between 8 and 10

There is a completely different management structure and

pricing schedule for apartment communities that are above

100 units

WHAT ARE THE CONTRACT CANCELLATION TERMSWe guarantee your satisfaction There is no fee for

cancellation The contract can be canceled with 30 days of

written notice

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A TENANT MOVES OUTWhen we receive a 30 day notice for a tenant to move out

we begin marketing immediately This increased exposure

substantially decreases vacancy periods (we average 3-4

vacancy rate)

The business day after the tenant moves out we have a move

out inspection The move out inspection includes a detailed

report along with a video Repairs housekeeping and carpet

cleaning are scheduled immediately A short make ready period

is important in order to make walk throughs available as soon

as possible

The move out process includes a detailed financial statement

to the tenant that moved out detailing any charges for items

that are above ldquonormal wear and tearrdquo as defined by the Idaho

Landlord Tenant Handbook

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENTWe serve a 3 day pay or quit notice as provided by Idaho Law

If we have not received rent within 3 days we provide the

landlord with recommendations to move forward to evict

This process is streamlined to leave you to make the decision

but out of the process

WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCEProperty managers are required to have written permission

in order to complete maintenance over a dollar amount

(See contract It is typically $200) The exclusion to this is

emergencies or health and safety concerns Examples include

a flooding basement or non-functioning heat during subfreezing

temperatures Owners will still see communication but if we

cannot contact you the work will still be scheduled in order to

keep the tenants safe

WHEN DO YOU PAY OWNERSFunds are dispersed to owners on the 15th of every month

In the event that the 15th is a weekend or a holiday funds will

be dispersed on the following regular bank day All funds are

dispersed via ACH into a checking account of your choice

WHAT ACCOUNTING DO YOU OFFERMonthly accounting is provided to owners after funds are

dispersed on the 15th You will see line item by line item

income and expenses on your monthly report You will receive

a copy of paid invoices as well as your monthly reserve

balance Additional reporting can be requested All 1099s are

paid out annually to vendors on behalf of owners Year-end

statements are provided to owners for tax purposes

DO YOU PROVIDE ACCESS TO ONLINE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOwners have an ldquoOwnerrsquos Portalrdquo in which they can view all

of their financial statements at any time Sensitive financial

information is protected by a secure connection The secure

connection uses AES_256_CBC which is a 256 bit encryption

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH LATE FEESLate fees require owners to wait for their funds and property

managers to chase tenants for rent Therefore they are split

50-50

SHOULD I ALLOW PETS IN MY RENTAL PROPERTYPets are a difficult decision They have the potential

to do serious damage but if you refuse them you are

removing approximately 60 of the market Typically our

recommendation is to allow pets and remediate the risk by

holding a larger deposit The deposit is based on carpet

replacement cost Pets present the most risk to carpets

Even if you decide to accept pets there is a list of pets that

are not allowed because our liability policy and most policies

held by owners have exclusions with these dogs To see a list

of the breeds you can click on application requirements in the

prospective tenant section on jacobgrantcom

Jacob Grant has a pet application process and scoring system

that measures potential risk of the pet and cost risk if the pet

does damage There is additional deposit to help reduce this

exposure

Fair housing requires that service animals are allowed even in

ldquono-petrdquo housing Charging additional rent or security deposit

for a service animal is illegal If someone has a service animal

and completes the appropriate paperwork you will be notified

FAQs

13JACOB GRANT PROPERTY MANAGEMENTCall for your free consult (208) 522-3138

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIESUtilities will be addressed when you sign a contract with Jacob

Grant Property Management A landlord agreement will be

created by the owner and listed as follows

Ownerrsquos name or company name

co Jacob Grant Property Management

490 Park Ave Suite 1

Idaho Falls ID 83402

These agreements decrease the cost of turning utilities on

and off and greatly reduces the risk of frozen pipes during

the winter

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENT MY PROPERTYThere are many factors that go into renting your property

PRICE

When rental properties are over-priced they typically do not

rent quickly

CLEANLINESS AND REPAIR

Rental properties that are clean and in good repair show better

and therefore rent more quickly

SEASON

There are not as many people looking for rental properties in

winter months This smaller pool of renters reduces the speed

with which properties rent

During the spring and summer when rent is set correctly

properties will typically rent within 14 days of being advertised

Many times if we are marketing vacancies while the previous

tenants are still living in them they rent even more quickly

Note Jacob Grant Property Management uses Lease Targeting

as much as possible Lease Targeting means we change the

lease end dates according to the season If we are marketing

a rental property in November we will try for a shorter term

lease and sometimes we are even able to secure 15-18

month leases Though this is not always possible Lease

Targeting reduces your overall vacancy

WHAT SERVICES ARE OUTSOURCEDAll housekeeping handyman repairs plumbing electrical

and other services to your property are outsourced We use

multiple companies in each area as this increases speed and

quality of work This reduces property vacancy

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK ON THE PROPERTYBesides move-ins and move-outs there are multiple ways we

keep eyes on the property

DRIVE-BY INSPECTION REPORT

This report is exactly like it sounds It is a curbside report

that reports the appearance and condition from the exterior

Frequency is between monthly and quarterly Cost is 0 if

initiated by Jacob Grant Cost is $49 if requested by owner

MAINTENANCE SURVEYS

These maintenance inspections check on the major functions

of the interior and exterior of the home They are scheduled

2 3 or 4 times per year depending on what you decide on

your preventative maintenance plan Frequency is between

bi-annually and quarterly Cost is between $35 and $55

depending on size of property

PROPERTY MANAGER INSPECTION

These are not regular inspections as it can greatly

inconvenience and reduce comfort of high quality tenants

Property managers sometimes deem these necessary when

other violations are present Frequency is as needed

Zero cost

FAQs

FAQs

HOW DO YOU HANDLE ldquoBAD TENANTSrdquoWhen a tenant violates the lease we follow up with a lease

violation This is a form that outlines the violation and

references the portion of the lease that is violated There is

an associated fee and sometimes follow up interior or exterior

inspection depending on the violation

Sometimes a neighbor will know about a violation before we

do In the case that we receive information from a neighbor

we follow up with verification of the violation

WHAT TYPES OF PROPERTIES DO YOU MANAGEWe manage single family homes apartment complexes

4-plexes duplexes condos and townhomes In addition

we manage apartment communities

WHAT ARE YOUR CERTIFICATIONSWe are highly involved with the National Association for

Residential Property Managers (NARPM) and attend national

conferences to facilitate ongoing education and stay up-to-date

with industry best practices

We are also highly involved with the Institute of Real Estate

Management (IREM) This is a highly respected property

management education system which offers certifications

such as the Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) or the elite

Certified Property Manager (CPM)

Jacob Grant encourages all staff to take IREM classes through

pay increase incentive and scholarship support for financial

help We currently have one CPM on staff and others that

are on their way We believe education increases our ability

to meet ownerrsquos goals increases our professionalism and

maximize our potential

HOW DO YOU COLLECT AND STORE SECURITY DEPOSITSSecurity deposits are collected in guaranteed funds prior to

tenants receiving keys to the property Security deposit funds

are considered tenant funds until move out therefore the funds

are held in a separate escrow account This account is verified

and reconciled twice per month At move out the funds are

dispersed to pay qualified repairs and cleaning or dispersed

back to the tenant according to the lease and Idaho State Law

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TENANCYThere is a lot of variability in length of tenancy Typically there

are shorter occupancy periods in studios and 1 bedroom

apartments and in homes that rent for more than $1300

Our average occupancies are between 12 and 18 months

The longest occupancy periods tend to be associated with

properties that are between $700 and $1200 We see

occupancies that last 2-3 years regularly We have seen

tenants live in a studio apartment for 10 years and we have

had people live in a 6000 sqft home for 2 months These

situations are atypical and not the rule

WHAT RENT COLLECTION OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER TENANTSTenants can pay with a check money order cashierrsquos check

credit card debit card or ACH payment We accept almost

everything except cash The ldquono-cashrdquo policy protects

your funds

HOW MANY TENANTS HAVE YOU EVICTED IN THE LAST YEAROur eviction rate for tenants that we place is less than 1

For properties that we manage after someone else has placed

the tenants the eviction rate can be as high as 10 depending

on the screening procedures used prior to our management

rate of 3-4 investors can rest assured that industry best

practices are being used to market your property and rent it as

quickly as possible

BEST PRACTICES IN MARKETING

MARKET RENT

One of the most important factors in renting your property

quickly is setting the rental rate ldquojust rightrdquo If rent is set too

high vacancy expense skyrockets If it is set too low there is

lost income opportunity

EXPOSURE

The best marketing uses the least amount of funds to create

the most qualified traffic Properties that are vacant or are

on notice to be vacant shortly are marketed aggressively

This improves the number of prospective tenants looking at

the property Your rental property will be immediately placed in

front of hundreds of prospective tenants on multiple free and

paid Internet Listing websites and paid advertising platforms

Jacobgrantcom gives all mobile and desktop computer users

live access to listed properties Listings include pictures

virtual tours utilities information pet information and full

descriptions of the property

In order to target people that have 9-5 jobs availability

must include times that are convenient for them Telephone

answering services are available until 6pm weekdays and

include Saturday hours Evening and weekend email response

qualified Marketing is web based targeting mobile and

Deferred maintenance can cause substantial financial impact

to your property value and your cash flow Preventative

responsive and emergency maintenance services position your

property to perform according to your financial goals

PRESENTATIONMaintenance impacts presentation of your home A clean

well maintained rental property attracts highly qualified

tenants A highly qualified tenant is more likely to reduce your

maintenance expense and is much less likely to experience

early termination of the lease agreement

PREVENTIONA preventive program reduces maintenance expense by an

estimated factor of 10 and keeps your property in better

condition Regular maintenance surveys are scheduled

bi-annually or quarterly You will have the option to include

regular fertilization furnace tune-up pest control and other

property services that reduce overall maintenance costs and

maximize the quality of your real estate investment

PROTECTIONRegular maintenance surveys emergency services and

drive-by reports protect your asset by reporting and addressing

problems prior to escalation which typically adds more cost

and causes discomfort for tenants which reduces renewal

rate In addition ongoing regular maintenance maximizes the

value of your real estate investment when you want to sell the

property

Accounting

ACCESS TO FINANCIAL

RECORDS

In addition to providing monthly detailed and customizable

reports detailing transactions on rental properties there are

several accounting services provided These services are

designed to protect owner funds and tenant funds from misuse

theft and comingling

bull Monthly statement with online access

bull Separate bank account for operating funds

bull Separate bank account for tenant security deposits

bull Bi-monthly security deposit balance

bull Third party reconciliation

bull Fidelity Bond protects funds up to $100000

There have been several local and state level stories in

which property managers or companies mismanage funds

The problem is not typically theft The problem is usually

competency Mishandled or co-mingled funds can lead to

substantial loss in investorrsquos security deposits or reserves

The common thread is that the property manager is able to

hide the loss by covering it with other assets

Avoid becoming a victim by knowing how your funds are held

and what practices are being implemented to protect funds

related to your rental property

When management begins all investors are given the

opportunity to detail their financial goals in the format of

an annual budget This process clarifies expectations and

becomes the first step in specifically meeting owner goals

Once these financial goals are created they are referenced

once each quarter Goals are referenced in a ldquoGoals Versus

Actualsrdquo report that analyzes financial performance compared

to the budget This process increases communication

and accountability and keeps property managers and

owners focused on the goal With the end in mind portfolio

performance improves substantially

Goals directed management also provides investors with

a projection tool to create a detailed roadmap in moving

forward with other real estate investments With historical

data on different types of property investors can project likely

performance on prospective real estate investments in order to

determine whether the investment fits with investor goals

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Would you rather have a 6 fee with half a monthrsquos rent for

a lease signing fee Or would you rather pay 10 of all rent

collected

EXAMPLE

You have a house that rents for $800month

6 of rent for the year is $576

Lease signing costs $400 = $976

10 of rents = $960

With turnover typically being the largest expense in property

management do you want to pay your management company

to create more turnover Owners are responsible for the costs

of advertising This includes payment for internet advertising

and Internet Listing Sites Jacob Grant secures advertising at

a discounted rate That discounted rate gets passed to the

property owner

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR MULTI-PROPERTY PORTFOLIOSYes there is typically a discount for multiple properties

Other factors included are condition of the property type

location and owner goals Pricing ranges between 8 and 10

There is a completely different management structure and

pricing schedule for apartment communities that are above

100 units

WHAT ARE THE CONTRACT CANCELLATION TERMSWe guarantee your satisfaction There is no fee for

cancellation The contract can be canceled with 30 days of

written notice

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A TENANT MOVES OUTWhen we receive a 30 day notice for a tenant to move out

we begin marketing immediately This increased exposure

substantially decreases vacancy periods (we average 3-4

vacancy rate)

The business day after the tenant moves out we have a move

out inspection The move out inspection includes a detailed

report along with a video Repairs housekeeping and carpet

cleaning are scheduled immediately A short make ready period

is important in order to make walk throughs available as soon

as possible

The move out process includes a detailed financial statement

to the tenant that moved out detailing any charges for items

that are above ldquonormal wear and tearrdquo as defined by the Idaho

Landlord Tenant Handbook

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENTWe serve a 3 day pay or quit notice as provided by Idaho Law

If we have not received rent within 3 days we provide the

landlord with recommendations to move forward to evict

This process is streamlined to leave you to make the decision

but out of the process

WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCEProperty managers are required to have written permission

in order to complete maintenance over a dollar amount

(See contract It is typically $200) The exclusion to this is

emergencies or health and safety concerns Examples include

a flooding basement or non-functioning heat during subfreezing

temperatures Owners will still see communication but if we

cannot contact you the work will still be scheduled in order to

keep the tenants safe

WHEN DO YOU PAY OWNERSFunds are dispersed to owners on the 15th of every month

In the event that the 15th is a weekend or a holiday funds will

be dispersed on the following regular bank day All funds are

dispersed via ACH into a checking account of your choice

WHAT ACCOUNTING DO YOU OFFERMonthly accounting is provided to owners after funds are

dispersed on the 15th You will see line item by line item

income and expenses on your monthly report You will receive

a copy of paid invoices as well as your monthly reserve

balance Additional reporting can be requested All 1099s are

paid out annually to vendors on behalf of owners Year-end

statements are provided to owners for tax purposes

DO YOU PROVIDE ACCESS TO ONLINE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOwners have an ldquoOwnerrsquos Portalrdquo in which they can view all

of their financial statements at any time Sensitive financial

information is protected by a secure connection The secure

connection uses AES_256_CBC which is a 256 bit encryption

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH LATE FEESLate fees require owners to wait for their funds and property

managers to chase tenants for rent Therefore they are split

50-50

SHOULD I ALLOW PETS IN MY RENTAL PROPERTYPets are a difficult decision They have the potential

to do serious damage but if you refuse them you are

removing approximately 60 of the market Typically our

recommendation is to allow pets and remediate the risk by

holding a larger deposit The deposit is based on carpet

replacement cost Pets present the most risk to carpets

Even if you decide to accept pets there is a list of pets that

are not allowed because our liability policy and most policies

held by owners have exclusions with these dogs To see a list

of the breeds you can click on application requirements in the

prospective tenant section on jacobgrantcom

Jacob Grant has a pet application process and scoring system

that measures potential risk of the pet and cost risk if the pet

does damage There is additional deposit to help reduce this

exposure

Fair housing requires that service animals are allowed even in

ldquono-petrdquo housing Charging additional rent or security deposit

for a service animal is illegal If someone has a service animal

and completes the appropriate paperwork you will be notified

FAQs

13JACOB GRANT PROPERTY MANAGEMENTCall for your free consult (208) 522-3138

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIESUtilities will be addressed when you sign a contract with Jacob

Grant Property Management A landlord agreement will be

created by the owner and listed as follows

Ownerrsquos name or company name

co Jacob Grant Property Management

490 Park Ave Suite 1

Idaho Falls ID 83402

These agreements decrease the cost of turning utilities on

and off and greatly reduces the risk of frozen pipes during

the winter

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENT MY PROPERTYThere are many factors that go into renting your property

PRICE

When rental properties are over-priced they typically do not

rent quickly

CLEANLINESS AND REPAIR

Rental properties that are clean and in good repair show better

and therefore rent more quickly

SEASON

There are not as many people looking for rental properties in

winter months This smaller pool of renters reduces the speed

with which properties rent

During the spring and summer when rent is set correctly

properties will typically rent within 14 days of being advertised

Many times if we are marketing vacancies while the previous

tenants are still living in them they rent even more quickly

Note Jacob Grant Property Management uses Lease Targeting

as much as possible Lease Targeting means we change the

lease end dates according to the season If we are marketing

a rental property in November we will try for a shorter term

lease and sometimes we are even able to secure 15-18

month leases Though this is not always possible Lease

Targeting reduces your overall vacancy

WHAT SERVICES ARE OUTSOURCEDAll housekeeping handyman repairs plumbing electrical

and other services to your property are outsourced We use

multiple companies in each area as this increases speed and

quality of work This reduces property vacancy

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK ON THE PROPERTYBesides move-ins and move-outs there are multiple ways we

keep eyes on the property

DRIVE-BY INSPECTION REPORT

This report is exactly like it sounds It is a curbside report

that reports the appearance and condition from the exterior

Frequency is between monthly and quarterly Cost is 0 if

initiated by Jacob Grant Cost is $49 if requested by owner

MAINTENANCE SURVEYS

These maintenance inspections check on the major functions

of the interior and exterior of the home They are scheduled

2 3 or 4 times per year depending on what you decide on

your preventative maintenance plan Frequency is between

bi-annually and quarterly Cost is between $35 and $55

depending on size of property

PROPERTY MANAGER INSPECTION

These are not regular inspections as it can greatly

inconvenience and reduce comfort of high quality tenants

Property managers sometimes deem these necessary when

other violations are present Frequency is as needed

Zero cost

FAQs

FAQs

HOW DO YOU HANDLE ldquoBAD TENANTSrdquoWhen a tenant violates the lease we follow up with a lease

violation This is a form that outlines the violation and

references the portion of the lease that is violated There is

an associated fee and sometimes follow up interior or exterior

inspection depending on the violation

Sometimes a neighbor will know about a violation before we

do In the case that we receive information from a neighbor

we follow up with verification of the violation

WHAT TYPES OF PROPERTIES DO YOU MANAGEWe manage single family homes apartment complexes

4-plexes duplexes condos and townhomes In addition

we manage apartment communities

WHAT ARE YOUR CERTIFICATIONSWe are highly involved with the National Association for

Residential Property Managers (NARPM) and attend national

conferences to facilitate ongoing education and stay up-to-date

with industry best practices

We are also highly involved with the Institute of Real Estate

Management (IREM) This is a highly respected property

management education system which offers certifications

such as the Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) or the elite

Certified Property Manager (CPM)

Jacob Grant encourages all staff to take IREM classes through

pay increase incentive and scholarship support for financial

help We currently have one CPM on staff and others that

are on their way We believe education increases our ability

to meet ownerrsquos goals increases our professionalism and

maximize our potential

HOW DO YOU COLLECT AND STORE SECURITY DEPOSITSSecurity deposits are collected in guaranteed funds prior to

tenants receiving keys to the property Security deposit funds

are considered tenant funds until move out therefore the funds

are held in a separate escrow account This account is verified

and reconciled twice per month At move out the funds are

dispersed to pay qualified repairs and cleaning or dispersed

back to the tenant according to the lease and Idaho State Law

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TENANCYThere is a lot of variability in length of tenancy Typically there

are shorter occupancy periods in studios and 1 bedroom

apartments and in homes that rent for more than $1300

Our average occupancies are between 12 and 18 months

The longest occupancy periods tend to be associated with

properties that are between $700 and $1200 We see

occupancies that last 2-3 years regularly We have seen

tenants live in a studio apartment for 10 years and we have

had people live in a 6000 sqft home for 2 months These

situations are atypical and not the rule

WHAT RENT COLLECTION OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER TENANTSTenants can pay with a check money order cashierrsquos check

credit card debit card or ACH payment We accept almost

everything except cash The ldquono-cashrdquo policy protects

your funds

HOW MANY TENANTS HAVE YOU EVICTED IN THE LAST YEAROur eviction rate for tenants that we place is less than 1

For properties that we manage after someone else has placed

the tenants the eviction rate can be as high as 10 depending

on the screening procedures used prior to our management

ACCESS TO FINANCIAL

RECORDS

In addition to providing monthly detailed and customizable

reports detailing transactions on rental properties there are

several accounting services provided These services are

designed to protect owner funds and tenant funds from misuse

theft and comingling

bull Monthly statement with online access

bull Separate bank account for operating funds

bull Separate bank account for tenant security deposits

bull Bi-monthly security deposit balance

bull Third party reconciliation

bull Fidelity Bond protects funds up to $100000

There have been several local and state level stories in

which property managers or companies mismanage funds

The problem is not typically theft The problem is usually

competency Mishandled or co-mingled funds can lead to

substantial loss in investorrsquos security deposits or reserves

The common thread is that the property manager is able to

hide the loss by covering it with other assets

Avoid becoming a victim by knowing how your funds are held

and what practices are being implemented to protect funds

related to your rental property

When management begins all investors are given the

opportunity to detail their financial goals in the format of

an annual budget This process clarifies expectations and

becomes the first step in specifically meeting owner goals

Once these financial goals are created they are referenced

once each quarter Goals are referenced in a ldquoGoals Versus

Actualsrdquo report that analyzes financial performance compared

to the budget This process increases communication

and accountability and keeps property managers and

owners focused on the goal With the end in mind portfolio

performance improves substantially

Goals directed management also provides investors with

a projection tool to create a detailed roadmap in moving

forward with other real estate investments With historical

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Would you rather have a 6 fee with half a monthrsquos rent for

a lease signing fee Or would you rather pay 10 of all rent

collected

EXAMPLE

You have a house that rents for $800month

6 of rent for the year is $576

Lease signing costs $400 = $976

10 of rents = $960

With turnover typically being the largest expense in property

management do you want to pay your management company

to create more turnover Owners are responsible for the costs

of advertising This includes payment for internet advertising

and Internet Listing Sites Jacob Grant secures advertising at

a discounted rate That discounted rate gets passed to the

property owner

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR MULTI-PROPERTY PORTFOLIOSYes there is typically a discount for multiple properties

Other factors included are condition of the property type

location and owner goals Pricing ranges between 8 and 10

There is a completely different management structure and

pricing schedule for apartment communities that are above

100 units

WHAT ARE THE CONTRACT CANCELLATION TERMSWe guarantee your satisfaction There is no fee for

cancellation The contract can be canceled with 30 days of

written notice

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A TENANT MOVES OUTWhen we receive a 30 day notice for a tenant to move out

we begin marketing immediately This increased exposure

substantially decreases vacancy periods (we average 3-4

vacancy rate)

The business day after the tenant moves out we have a move

out inspection The move out inspection includes a detailed

report along with a video Repairs housekeeping and carpet

cleaning are scheduled immediately A short make ready period

is important in order to make walk throughs available as soon

as possible

The move out process includes a detailed financial statement

to the tenant that moved out detailing any charges for items

that are above ldquonormal wear and tearrdquo as defined by the Idaho

Landlord Tenant Handbook

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENTWe serve a 3 day pay or quit notice as provided by Idaho Law

If we have not received rent within 3 days we provide the

landlord with recommendations to move forward to evict

This process is streamlined to leave you to make the decision

but out of the process

WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCEProperty managers are required to have written permission

in order to complete maintenance over a dollar amount

(See contract It is typically $200) The exclusion to this is

emergencies or health and safety concerns Examples include

a flooding basement or non-functioning heat during subfreezing

temperatures Owners will still see communication but if we

cannot contact you the work will still be scheduled in order to

keep the tenants safe

WHEN DO YOU PAY OWNERSFunds are dispersed to owners on the 15th of every month

In the event that the 15th is a weekend or a holiday funds will

be dispersed on the following regular bank day All funds are

dispersed via ACH into a checking account of your choice

WHAT ACCOUNTING DO YOU OFFERMonthly accounting is provided to owners after funds are

dispersed on the 15th You will see line item by line item

income and expenses on your monthly report You will receive

a copy of paid invoices as well as your monthly reserve

balance Additional reporting can be requested All 1099s are

paid out annually to vendors on behalf of owners Year-end

statements are provided to owners for tax purposes

DO YOU PROVIDE ACCESS TO ONLINE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOwners have an ldquoOwnerrsquos Portalrdquo in which they can view all

of their financial statements at any time Sensitive financial

information is protected by a secure connection The secure

connection uses AES_256_CBC which is a 256 bit encryption

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH LATE FEESLate fees require owners to wait for their funds and property

managers to chase tenants for rent Therefore they are split

50-50

SHOULD I ALLOW PETS IN MY RENTAL PROPERTYPets are a difficult decision They have the potential

to do serious damage but if you refuse them you are

removing approximately 60 of the market Typically our

recommendation is to allow pets and remediate the risk by

holding a larger deposit The deposit is based on carpet

replacement cost Pets present the most risk to carpets

Even if you decide to accept pets there is a list of pets that

are not allowed because our liability policy and most policies

held by owners have exclusions with these dogs To see a list

of the breeds you can click on application requirements in the

prospective tenant section on jacobgrantcom

Jacob Grant has a pet application process and scoring system

that measures potential risk of the pet and cost risk if the pet

does damage There is additional deposit to help reduce this

exposure

Fair housing requires that service animals are allowed even in

ldquono-petrdquo housing Charging additional rent or security deposit

for a service animal is illegal If someone has a service animal

and completes the appropriate paperwork you will be notified

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIESUtilities will be addressed when you sign a contract with Jacob

Grant Property Management A landlord agreement will be

created by the owner and listed as follows

Ownerrsquos name or company name

co Jacob Grant Property Management

490 Park Ave Suite 1

Idaho Falls ID 83402

These agreements decrease the cost of turning utilities on

and off and greatly reduces the risk of frozen pipes during

the winter

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENT MY PROPERTYThere are many factors that go into renting your property

PRICE

When rental properties are over-priced they typically do not

rent quickly

CLEANLINESS AND REPAIR

Rental properties that are clean and in good repair show better

and therefore rent more quickly

SEASON

There are not as many people looking for rental properties in

winter months This smaller pool of renters reduces the speed

with which properties rent

During the spring and summer when rent is set correctly

properties will typically rent within 14 days of being advertised

Many times if we are marketing vacancies while the previous

tenants are still living in them they rent even more quickly

Note Jacob Grant Property Management uses Lease Targeting

as much as possible Lease Targeting means we change the

lease end dates according to the season If we are marketing

a rental property in November we will try for a shorter term

lease and sometimes we are even able to secure 15-18

month leases Though this is not always possible Lease

Targeting reduces your overall vacancy

WHAT SERVICES ARE OUTSOURCEDAll housekeeping handyman repairs plumbing electrical

and other services to your property are outsourced We use

multiple companies in each area as this increases speed and

quality of work This reduces property vacancy

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK ON THE PROPERTYBesides move-ins and move-outs there are multiple ways we

keep eyes on the property

DRIVE-BY INSPECTION REPORT

This report is exactly like it sounds It is a curbside report

that reports the appearance and condition from the exterior

Frequency is between monthly and quarterly Cost is 0 if

initiated by Jacob Grant Cost is $49 if requested by owner

MAINTENANCE SURVEYS

These maintenance inspections check on the major functions

of the interior and exterior of the home They are scheduled

2 3 or 4 times per year depending on what you decide on

your preventative maintenance plan Frequency is between

bi-annually and quarterly Cost is between $35 and $55

depending on size of property

PROPERTY MANAGER INSPECTION

These are not regular inspections as it can greatly

inconvenience and reduce comfort of high quality tenants

Property managers sometimes deem these necessary when

other violations are present Frequency is as needed

Zero cost

FAQs

HOW DO YOU HANDLE ldquoBAD TENANTSrdquoWhen a tenant violates the lease we follow up with a lease

violation This is a form that outlines the violation and

references the portion of the lease that is violated There is

an associated fee and sometimes follow up interior or exterior

inspection depending on the violation

Sometimes a neighbor will know about a violation before we

do In the case that we receive information from a neighbor

we follow up with verification of the violation

WHAT TYPES OF PROPERTIES DO YOU MANAGEWe manage single family homes apartment complexes

4-plexes duplexes condos and townhomes In addition

we manage apartment communities

WHAT ARE YOUR CERTIFICATIONSWe are highly involved with the National Association for

Residential Property Managers (NARPM) and attend national

conferences to facilitate ongoing education and stay up-to-date

with industry best practices

We are also highly involved with the Institute of Real Estate

Management (IREM) This is a highly respected property

management education system which offers certifications

such as the Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) or the elite

Certified Property Manager (CPM)

Jacob Grant encourages all staff to take IREM classes through

pay increase incentive and scholarship support for financial

help We currently have one CPM on staff and others that

are on their way We believe education increases our ability

to meet ownerrsquos goals increases our professionalism and

maximize our potential

HOW DO YOU COLLECT AND STORE SECURITY DEPOSITSSecurity deposits are collected in guaranteed funds prior to

tenants receiving keys to the property Security deposit funds

are considered tenant funds until move out therefore the funds

are held in a separate escrow account This account is verified

and reconciled twice per month At move out the funds are

dispersed to pay qualified repairs and cleaning or dispersed

back to the tenant according to the lease and Idaho State Law

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TENANCYThere is a lot of variability in length of tenancy Typically there

are shorter occupancy periods in studios and 1 bedroom

apartments and in homes that rent for more than $1300

Our average occupancies are between 12 and 18 months

The longest occupancy periods tend to be associated with

properties that are between $700 and $1200 We see

occupancies that last 2-3 years regularly We have seen

tenants live in a studio apartment for 10 years and we have

had people live in a 6000 sqft home for 2 months These

situations are atypical and not the rule

WHAT RENT COLLECTION OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER TENANTSTenants can pay with a check money order cashierrsquos check

credit card debit card or ACH payment We accept almost

everything except cash The ldquono-cashrdquo policy protects

your funds

HOW MANY TENANTS HAVE YOU EVICTED IN THE LAST YEAROur eviction rate for tenants that we place is less than 1

For properties that we manage after someone else has placed

the tenants the eviction rate can be as high as 10 depending

on the screening procedures used prior to our management

practices are being used to market your property and rent it as

MARKET RENT

One of the most important factors in renting your property

quickly is setting the rental rate ldquojust rightrdquo If rent is set too

high vacancy expense skyrockets If it is set too low there is

lost income opportunity

the most qualified traffic Properties that are vacant or are

the property Your rental property will be immediately placed in

of advertising This includes payment for internet advertising

and Internet Listing Sites Jacob Grant secures advertising at

a discounted rate That discounted rate gets passed to the

cancellation The contract can be canceled with 30 days of

written notice

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A TENANT MOVES OUTWhen we receive a 30 day notice for a tenant to move out

we begin marketing immediately This increased exposure

substantially decreases vacancy periods (we average 3-4

vacancy rate)

The business day after the tenant moves out we have a move

out inspection The move out inspection includes a detailed

report along with a video Repairs housekeeping and carpet

cleaning are scheduled immediately A short make ready period

is important in order to make walk throughs available as soon

as possible

The move out process includes a detailed financial statement

to the tenant that moved out detailing any charges for items

that are above ldquonormal wear and tearrdquo as defined by the Idaho

Landlord Tenant Handbook

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENTWe serve a 3 day pay or quit notice as provided by Idaho Law

landlord with recommendations to move forward to evict

in order to complete maintenance over a dollar amount

(See contract It is typically $200) The exclusion to this is

of their financial statements at any time Sensitive financial

information is protected by a secure connection The secure

connection uses AES_256_CBC which is a 256 bit encryption

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH LATE FEESLate fees require owners to wait for their funds and property

managers to chase tenants for rent Therefore they are split

50-50

SHOULD I ALLOW PETS IN MY RENTAL PROPERTYPets are a difficult decision They have the potential

to do serious damage but if you refuse them you are

removing approximately 60 of the market Typically our

recommendation is to allow pets and remediate the risk by

holding a larger deposit The deposit is based on carpet

replacement cost Pets present the most risk to carpets

Even if you decide to accept pets there is a list of pets that

are not allowed because our liability policy and most policies

held by owners have exclusions with these dogs To see a list

of the breeds you can click on application requirements in the

prospective tenant section on jacobgrantcom

Jacob Grant has a pet application process and scoring system

that measures potential risk of the pet and cost risk if the pet

does damage There is additional deposit to help reduce this

exposure

Fair housing requires that service animals are allowed even in

ldquono-petrdquo housing Charging additional rent or security deposit

for a service animal is illegal If someone has a service animal

and completes the appropriate paperwork you will be notified

FAQs

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIESUtilities will be addressed when you sign a contract with Jacob

Grant Property Management A landlord agreement will be

created by the owner and listed as follows

Ownerrsquos name or company name

co Jacob Grant Property Management

490 Park Ave Suite 1

Idaho Falls ID 83402

These agreements decrease the cost of turning utilities on

and off and greatly reduces the risk of frozen pipes during

the winter

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENT MY PROPERTYThere are many factors that go into renting your property

PRICE

When rental properties are over-priced they typically do not

rent quickly

CLEANLINESS AND REPAIR

Rental properties that are clean and in good repair show better

and therefore rent more quickly

SEASON

There are not as many people looking for rental properties in

winter months This smaller pool of renters reduces the speed

with which properties rent

During the spring and summer when rent is set correctly

properties will typically rent within 14 days of being advertised

Many times if we are marketing vacancies while the previous

tenants are still living in them they rent even more quickly

Note Jacob Grant Property Management uses Lease Targeting

as much as possible Lease Targeting means we change the

lease end dates according to the season If we are marketing

a rental property in November we will try for a shorter term

lease and sometimes we are even able to secure 15-18

month leases Though this is not always possible Lease

Targeting reduces your overall vacancy

WHAT SERVICES ARE OUTSOURCEDAll housekeeping handyman repairs plumbing electrical

and other services to your property are outsourced We use

multiple companies in each area as this increases speed and

quality of work This reduces property vacancy

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK ON THE PROPERTYBesides move-ins and move-outs there are multiple ways we

keep eyes on the property

DRIVE-BY INSPECTION REPORT

This report is exactly like it sounds It is a curbside report

that reports the appearance and condition from the exterior

Frequency is between monthly and quarterly Cost is 0 if

initiated by Jacob Grant Cost is $49 if requested by owner

MAINTENANCE SURVEYS

These maintenance inspections check on the major functions

of the interior and exterior of the home They are scheduled

2 3 or 4 times per year depending on what you decide on

your preventative maintenance plan Frequency is between

bi-annually and quarterly Cost is between $35 and $55

depending on size of property

PROPERTY MANAGER INSPECTION

These are not regular inspections as it can greatly

inconvenience and reduce comfort of high quality tenants

Property managers sometimes deem these necessary when

other violations are present Frequency is as needed

Zero cost

FAQs

HOW DO YOU HANDLE ldquoBAD TENANTSrdquoWhen a tenant violates the lease we follow up with a lease

violation This is a form that outlines the violation and

references the portion of the lease that is violated There is

an associated fee and sometimes follow up interior or exterior

inspection depending on the violation

Sometimes a neighbor will know about a violation before we

do In the case that we receive information from a neighbor

we follow up with verification of the violation

WHAT TYPES OF PROPERTIES DO YOU MANAGEWe manage single family homes apartment complexes

4-plexes duplexes condos and townhomes In addition

we manage apartment communities

WHAT ARE YOUR CERTIFICATIONSWe are highly involved with the National Association for

Residential Property Managers (NARPM) and attend national

conferences to facilitate ongoing education and stay up-to-date

with industry best practices

We are also highly involved with the Institute of Real Estate

Management (IREM) This is a highly respected property

management education system which offers certifications

such as the Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) or the elite

Certified Property Manager (CPM)

Jacob Grant encourages all staff to take IREM classes through

pay increase incentive and scholarship support for financial

help We currently have one CPM on staff and others that

are on their way We believe education increases our ability

to meet ownerrsquos goals increases our professionalism and

maximize our potential

HOW DO YOU COLLECT AND STORE SECURITY DEPOSITSSecurity deposits are collected in guaranteed funds prior to

tenants receiving keys to the property Security deposit funds

are considered tenant funds until move out therefore the funds

are held in a separate escrow account This account is verified

and reconciled twice per month At move out the funds are

dispersed to pay qualified repairs and cleaning or dispersed

back to the tenant according to the lease and Idaho State Law

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TENANCYThere is a lot of variability in length of tenancy Typically there

are shorter occupancy periods in studios and 1 bedroom

apartments and in homes that rent for more than $1300

Our average occupancies are between 12 and 18 months

The longest occupancy periods tend to be associated with

properties that are between $700 and $1200 We see

occupancies that last 2-3 years regularly We have seen

tenants live in a studio apartment for 10 years and we have

had people live in a 6000 sqft home for 2 months These

situations are atypical and not the rule

WHAT RENT COLLECTION OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER TENANTSTenants can pay with a check money order cashierrsquos check

credit card debit card or ACH payment We accept almost

everything except cash The ldquono-cashrdquo policy protects

your funds

HOW MANY TENANTS HAVE YOU EVICTED IN THE LAST YEAROur eviction rate for tenants that we place is less than 1

For properties that we manage after someone else has placed

the tenants the eviction rate can be as high as 10 depending

on the screening procedures used prior to our management

Jacob Grant Property Management markets properties

according to investment goals With a typical portfolio vacancy

rate of 3-4 investors can rest assured that industry best

practices are being used to market your property and rent it as

quickly as possible

BEST PRACTICES IN MARKETING

MARKET RENT

One of the most important factors in renting your property

quickly is setting the rental rate ldquojust rightrdquo If rent is set too

high vacancy expense skyrockets If it is set too low there is

lost income opportunity

EXPOSURE

The best marketing uses the least amount of funds to create

the most qualified traffic Properties that are vacant or are

on notice to be vacant shortly are marketed aggressively

This improves the number of prospective tenants looking at

the property Your rental property will be immediately placed in

front of hundreds of prospective tenants on multiple free and

paid Internet Listing websites and paid advertising platforms

Jacobgrantcom gives all mobile and desktop computer users

live access to listed properties Listings include pictures

virtual tours utilities information pet information and full

descriptions of the property

AVAILABILITY

The targeted market for filling your rental property are

responsible prospective renters that often times have jobs

In order to target people that have 9-5 jobs availability

must include times that are convenient for them Telephone

answering services are available until 6pm weekdays and

include Saturday hours Evening and weekend email response

is available until 8pm

ATTRACTION

When marketing the rental property quantity is important

but quality of the lead is even more important Is marketing

in front of prospective renters that are likely to be highly

qualified Marketing is web based targeting mobile and

desktop users on jacobgrantcom and Internet Listing Sites

with the highest conversion of well qualified tenants

Deferred maintenance can cause substantial financial impact

to your property value and your cash flow Preventative

responsive and emergency maintenance services position your

property to perform according to your financial goals

PRESENTATIONMaintenance impacts presentation of your home A clean

well maintained rental property attracts highly qualified

tenants A highly qualified tenant is more likely to reduce your

maintenance expense and is much less likely to experience

early termination of the lease agreement

PREVENTIONA preventive program reduces maintenance expense by an

estimated factor of 10 and keeps your property in better

condition Regular maintenance surveys are scheduled

bi-annually or quarterly You will have the option to include

regular fertilization furnace tune-up pest control and other

property services that reduce overall maintenance costs and

maximize the quality of your real estate investment

PROTECTIONRegular maintenance surveys emergency services and

drive-by reports protect your asset by reporting and addressing

problems prior to escalation which typically adds more cost

and causes discomfort for tenants which reduces renewal

rate In addition ongoing regular maintenance maximizes the

value of your real estate investment when you want to sell the

property

Accounting

ACCESS TO FINANCIAL

RECORDS

In addition to providing monthly detailed and customizable

reports detailing transactions on rental properties there are

several accounting services provided These services are

designed to protect owner funds and tenant funds from misuse

theft and comingling

bull Monthly statement with online access

bull Separate bank account for operating funds

bull Separate bank account for tenant security deposits

bull Bi-monthly security deposit balance

bull Third party reconciliation

bull Fidelity Bond protects funds up to $100000

There have been several local and state level stories in

which property managers or companies mismanage funds

The problem is not typically theft The problem is usually

competency Mishandled or co-mingled funds can lead to

substantial loss in investorrsquos security deposits or reserves

The common thread is that the property manager is able to

hide the loss by covering it with other assets

Avoid becoming a victim by knowing how your funds are held

and what practices are being implemented to protect funds

related to your rental property

When management begins all investors are given the

opportunity to detail their financial goals in the format of

an annual budget This process clarifies expectations and

becomes the first step in specifically meeting owner goals

Once these financial goals are created they are referenced

once each quarter Goals are referenced in a ldquoGoals Versus

Actualsrdquo report that analyzes financial performance compared

to the budget This process increases communication

and accountability and keeps property managers and

owners focused on the goal With the end in mind portfolio

performance improves substantially

Goals directed management also provides investors with

a projection tool to create a detailed roadmap in moving

forward with other real estate investments With historical

data on different types of property investors can project likely

performance on prospective real estate investments in order to

determine whether the investment fits with investor goals

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

depending on size of property

are shorter occupancy periods in studios and 1 bedroom

apartments and in homes that rent for more than $1300

Our average occupancies are between 12 and 18 months

The longest occupancy periods tend to be associated with

properties that are between $700 and $1200 We see

occupancies that last 2-3 years regularly We have seen

tenants live in a studio apartment for 10 years and we have

had people live in a 6000 sqft home for 2 months These

Jacob Grant Property Management markets properties

according to investment goals With a typical portfolio vacancy

rate of 3-4 investors can rest assured that industry best

practices are being used to market your property and rent it as

quickly as possible

BEST PRACTICES IN MARKETING

MARKET RENT

One of the most important factors in renting your property

quickly is setting the rental rate ldquojust rightrdquo If rent is set too

high vacancy expense skyrockets If it is set too low there is

lost income opportunity

EXPOSURE

The best marketing uses the least amount of funds to create

the most qualified traffic Properties that are vacant or are

on notice to be vacant shortly are marketed aggressively

This improves the number of prospective tenants looking at

the property Your rental property will be immediately placed in

front of hundreds of prospective tenants on multiple free and

paid Internet Listing websites and paid advertising platforms

Jacobgrantcom gives all mobile and desktop computer users

live access to listed properties Listings include pictures

virtual tours utilities information pet information and full

descriptions of the property

AVAILABILITY

The targeted market for filling your rental property are

responsible prospective renters that often times have jobs

In order to target people that have 9-5 jobs availability

must include times that are convenient for them Telephone

answering services are available until 6pm weekdays and

include Saturday hours Evening and weekend email response

is available until 8pm

ATTRACTION

When marketing the rental property quantity is important

but quality of the lead is even more important Is marketing

in front of prospective renters that are likely to be highly

qualified Marketing is web based targeting mobile and

desktop users on jacobgrantcom and Internet Listing Sites

with the highest conversion of well qualified tenants

Deferred maintenance can cause substantial financial impact

to your property value and your cash flow Preventative

responsive and emergency maintenance services position your

property to perform according to your financial goals

PRESENTATIONMaintenance impacts presentation of your home A clean

well maintained rental property attracts highly qualified

tenants A highly qualified tenant is more likely to reduce your

maintenance expense and is much less likely to experience

early termination of the lease agreement

PREVENTIONA preventive program reduces maintenance expense by an

estimated factor of 10 and keeps your property in better

condition Regular maintenance surveys are scheduled

bi-annually or quarterly You will have the option to include

regular fertilization furnace tune-up pest control and other

property services that reduce overall maintenance costs and

maximize the quality of your real estate investment

PROTECTIONRegular maintenance surveys emergency services and

drive-by reports protect your asset by reporting and addressing

problems prior to escalation which typically adds more cost

and causes discomfort for tenants which reduces renewal

rate In addition ongoing regular maintenance maximizes the

value of your real estate investment when you want to sell the

Accounting

ACCESS TO FINANCIAL

RECORDS

In addition to providing monthly detailed and customizable

reports detailing transactions on rental properties there are

several accounting services provided These services are

designed to protect owner funds and tenant funds from misuse

theft and comingling

bull Monthly statement with online access

bull Separate bank account for operating funds

bull Separate bank account for tenant security deposits

bull Bi-monthly security deposit balance

bull Third party reconciliation

bull Fidelity Bond protects funds up to $100000

There have been several local and state level stories in

which property managers or companies mismanage funds

The problem is not typically theft The problem is usually

competency Mishandled or co-mingled funds can lead to

substantial loss in investorrsquos security deposits or reserves

The common thread is that the property manager is able to

hide the loss by covering it with other assets

Avoid becoming a victim by knowing how your funds are held

and what practices are being implemented to protect funds

related to your rental property

When management begins all investors are given the

opportunity to detail their financial goals in the format of

an annual budget This process clarifies expectations and

becomes the first step in specifically meeting owner goals

Once these financial goals are created they are referenced

once each quarter Goals are referenced in a ldquoGoals Versus

Actualsrdquo report that analyzes financial performance compared

to the budget This process increases communication

and accountability and keeps property managers and

owners focused on the goal With the end in mind portfolio

performance improves substantially

Goals directed management also provides investors with

a projection tool to create a detailed roadmap in moving

forward with other real estate investments With historical

data on different types of property investors can project likely

performance on prospective real estate investments in order to

determine whether the investment fits with investor goals

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Would you rather have a 6 fee with half a monthrsquos rent for

a lease signing fee Or would you rather pay 10 of all rent

collected

EXAMPLE

You have a house that rents for $800month

6 of rent for the year is $576

Lease signing costs $400 = $976

10 of rents = $960

With turnover typically being the largest expense in property

management do you want to pay your management company

to create more turnover Owners are responsible for the costs

of advertising This includes payment for internet advertising

and Internet Listing Sites Jacob Grant secures advertising at

a discounted rate That discounted rate gets passed to the

property owner

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR MULTI-PROPERTY PORTFOLIOSYes there is typically a discount for multiple properties

Other factors included are condition of the property type

location and owner goals Pricing ranges between 8 and 10

There is a completely different management structure and

pricing schedule for apartment communities that are above

100 units

WHAT ARE THE CONTRACT CANCELLATION TERMSWe guarantee your satisfaction There is no fee for

cancellation The contract can be canceled with 30 days of

written notice

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A TENANT MOVES OUTWhen we receive a 30 day notice for a tenant to move out

we begin marketing immediately This increased exposure

substantially decreases vacancy periods (we average 3-4

vacancy rate)

The business day after the tenant moves out we have a move

out inspection The move out inspection includes a detailed

report along with a video Repairs housekeeping and carpet

cleaning are scheduled immediately A short make ready period

is important in order to make walk throughs available as soon

as possible

The move out process includes a detailed financial statement

to the tenant that moved out detailing any charges for items

that are above ldquonormal wear and tearrdquo as defined by the Idaho

Landlord Tenant Handbook

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENTWe serve a 3 day pay or quit notice as provided by Idaho Law

If we have not received rent within 3 days we provide the

landlord with recommendations to move forward to evict

This process is streamlined to leave you to make the decision

but out of the process

WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCEProperty managers are required to have written permission

in order to complete maintenance over a dollar amount

(See contract It is typically $200) The exclusion to this is

emergencies or health and safety concerns Examples include

a flooding basement or non-functioning heat during subfreezing

temperatures Owners will still see communication but if we

cannot contact you the work will still be scheduled in order to

keep the tenants safe

WHEN DO YOU PAY OWNERSFunds are dispersed to owners on the 15th of every month

In the event that the 15th is a weekend or a holiday funds will

be dispersed on the following regular bank day All funds are

dispersed via ACH into a checking account of your choice

WHAT ACCOUNTING DO YOU OFFERMonthly accounting is provided to owners after funds are

dispersed on the 15th You will see line item by line item

income and expenses on your monthly report You will receive

a copy of paid invoices as well as your monthly reserve

balance Additional reporting can be requested All 1099s are

paid out annually to vendors on behalf of owners Year-end

statements are provided to owners for tax purposes

DO YOU PROVIDE ACCESS TO ONLINE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOwners have an ldquoOwnerrsquos Portalrdquo in which they can view all

of their financial statements at any time Sensitive financial

information is protected by a secure connection The secure

connection uses AES_256_CBC which is a 256 bit encryption

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH LATE FEESLate fees require owners to wait for their funds and property

managers to chase tenants for rent Therefore they are split

50-50

SHOULD I ALLOW PETS IN MY RENTAL PROPERTYPets are a difficult decision They have the potential

to do serious damage but if you refuse them you are

removing approximately 60 of the market Typically our

recommendation is to allow pets and remediate the risk by

holding a larger deposit The deposit is based on carpet

replacement cost Pets present the most risk to carpets

Even if you decide to accept pets there is a list of pets that

are not allowed because our liability policy and most policies

held by owners have exclusions with these dogs To see a list

of the breeds you can click on application requirements in the

prospective tenant section on jacobgrantcom

Jacob Grant has a pet application process and scoring system

that measures potential risk of the pet and cost risk if the pet

does damage There is additional deposit to help reduce this

exposure

Fair housing requires that service animals are allowed even in

ldquono-petrdquo housing Charging additional rent or security deposit

for a service animal is illegal If someone has a service animal

and completes the appropriate paperwork you will be notified

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIESUtilities will be addressed when you sign a contract with Jacob

Grant Property Management A landlord agreement will be

created by the owner and listed as follows

Ownerrsquos name or company name

co Jacob Grant Property Management

490 Park Ave Suite 1

Idaho Falls ID 83402

These agreements decrease the cost of turning utilities on

and off and greatly reduces the risk of frozen pipes during

the winter

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENT MY PROPERTYThere are many factors that go into renting your property

PRICE

When rental properties are over-priced they typically do not

rent quickly

CLEANLINESS AND REPAIR

Rental properties that are clean and in good repair show better

and therefore rent more quickly

SEASON

There are not as many people looking for rental properties in

winter months This smaller pool of renters reduces the speed

with which properties rent

During the spring and summer when rent is set correctly

properties will typically rent within 14 days of being advertised

Many times if we are marketing vacancies while the previous

tenants are still living in them they rent even more quickly

Note Jacob Grant Property Management uses Lease Targeting

as much as possible Lease Targeting means we change the

lease end dates according to the season If we are marketing

a rental property in November we will try for a shorter term

lease and sometimes we are even able to secure 15-18

month leases Though this is not always possible Lease

Targeting reduces your overall vacancy

WHAT SERVICES ARE OUTSOURCEDAll housekeeping handyman repairs plumbing electrical

and other services to your property are outsourced We use

multiple companies in each area as this increases speed and

quality of work This reduces property vacancy

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

hide the loss by covering it with other assets

Avoid becoming a victim by knowing how your funds are held

and what practices are being implemented to protect funds

related to your rental property

When management begins all investors are given the

opportunity to detail their financial goals in the format of

an annual budget This process clarifies expectations and

becomes the first step in specifically meeting owner goals

Once these financial goals are created they are referenced

once each quarter Goals are referenced in a ldquoGoals Versus

Actualsrdquo report that analyzes financial performance compared

to the budget This process increases communication

and accountability and keeps property managers and

owners focused on the goal With the end in mind portfolio

performance improves substantially

Goals directed management also provides investors with

a projection tool to create a detailed roadmap in moving

forward with other real estate investments With historical

data on different types of property investors can project likely

performance on prospective real estate investments in order to

determine whether the investment fits with investor goals

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Would you rather have a 6 fee with half a monthrsquos rent for

a lease signing fee Or would you rather pay 10 of all rent

collected

EXAMPLE

You have a house that rents for $800month

6 of rent for the year is $576

Lease signing costs $400 = $976

10 of rents = $960

With turnover typically being the largest expense in property

management do you want to pay your management company

to create more turnover Owners are responsible for the costs

of advertising This includes payment for internet advertising

and Internet Listing Sites Jacob Grant secures advertising at

a discounted rate That discounted rate gets passed to the

property owner

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR MULTI-PROPERTY PORTFOLIOSYes there is typically a discount for multiple properties

Other factors included are condition of the property type

location and owner goals Pricing ranges between 8 and 10

There is a completely different management structure and

pricing schedule for apartment communities that are above

100 units

WHAT ARE THE CONTRACT CANCELLATION TERMSWe guarantee your satisfaction There is no fee for

cancellation The contract can be canceled with 30 days of

written notice

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A TENANT MOVES OUTWhen we receive a 30 day notice for a tenant to move out

we begin marketing immediately This increased exposure

substantially decreases vacancy periods (we average 3-4

vacancy rate)

The business day after the tenant moves out we have a move

out inspection The move out inspection includes a detailed

report along with a video Repairs housekeeping and carpet

cleaning are scheduled immediately A short make ready period

is important in order to make walk throughs available as soon

as possible

The move out process includes a detailed financial statement

to the tenant that moved out detailing any charges for items

that are above ldquonormal wear and tearrdquo as defined by the Idaho

Landlord Tenant Handbook

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENTWe serve a 3 day pay or quit notice as provided by Idaho Law

If we have not received rent within 3 days we provide the

landlord with recommendations to move forward to evict

This process is streamlined to leave you to make the decision

but out of the process

WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCEProperty managers are required to have written permission

in order to complete maintenance over a dollar amount

(See contract It is typically $200) The exclusion to this is

emergencies or health and safety concerns Examples include

a flooding basement or non-functioning heat during subfreezing

temperatures Owners will still see communication but if we

cannot contact you the work will still be scheduled in order to

keep the tenants safe

managers to chase tenants for rent Therefore they are split

50-50

SHOULD I ALLOW PETS IN MY RENTAL PROPERTYPets are a difficult decision They have the potential

to do serious damage but if you refuse them you are

removing approximately 60 of the market Typically our

recommendation is to allow pets and remediate the risk by

holding a larger deposit The deposit is based on carpet

replacement cost Pets present the most risk to carpets

Even if you decide to accept pets there is a list of pets that

are not allowed because our liability policy and most policies

held by owners have exclusions with these dogs To see a list

of the breeds you can click on application requirements in the

prospective tenant section on jacobgrantcom

Jacob Grant has a pet application process and scoring system

that measures potential risk of the pet and cost risk if the pet

does damage There is additional deposit to help reduce this

exposure

Fair housing requires that service animals are allowed even in

ldquono-petrdquo housing Charging additional rent or security deposit

for a service animal is illegal If someone has a service animal

and completes the appropriate paperwork you will be notified

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIESUtilities will be addressed when you sign a contract with Jacob

Grant Property Management A landlord agreement will be

created by the owner and listed as follows

Ownerrsquos name or company name

co Jacob Grant Property Management

490 Park Ave Suite 1

Idaho Falls ID 83402

These agreements decrease the cost of turning utilities on

and off and greatly reduces the risk of frozen pipes during

the winter

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENT MY PROPERTYThere are many factors that go into renting your property

PRICE

When rental properties are over-priced they typically do not

rent quickly

CLEANLINESS AND REPAIR

Rental properties that are clean and in good repair show better

and therefore rent more quickly

SEASON

There are not as many people looking for rental properties in

winter months This smaller pool of renters reduces the speed

with which properties rent

During the spring and summer when rent is set correctly

properties will typically rent within 14 days of being advertised

Many times if we are marketing vacancies while the previous

tenants are still living in them they rent even more quickly

Note Jacob Grant Property Management uses Lease Targeting

as much as possible Lease Targeting means we change the

lease end dates according to the season If we are marketing

a rental property in November we will try for a shorter term

lease and sometimes we are even able to secure 15-18

month leases Though this is not always possible Lease

Targeting reduces your overall vacancy

WHAT SERVICES ARE OUTSOURCEDAll housekeeping handyman repairs plumbing electrical

and other services to your property are outsourced We use

multiple companies in each area as this increases speed and

quality of work This reduces property vacancy

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK ON THE PROPERTYBesides move-ins and move-outs there are multiple ways we

keep eyes on the property

DRIVE-BY INSPECTION REPORT

This report is exactly like it sounds It is a curbside report

of the interior and exterior of the home They are scheduled

2 3 or 4 times per year depending on what you decide on

your preventative maintenance plan Frequency is between

bi-annually and quarterly Cost is between $35 and $55

depending on size of property

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TENANCYThere is a lot of variability in length of tenancy Typically there

are shorter occupancy periods in studios and 1 bedroom

apartments and in homes that rent for more than $1300

Our average occupancies are between 12 and 18 months

The longest occupancy periods tend to be associated with

properties that are between $700 and $1200 We see

occupancies that last 2-3 years regularly We have seen

tenants live in a studio apartment for 10 years and we have

had people live in a 6000 sqft home for 2 months These

situations are atypical and not the rule

WHAT RENT COLLECTION OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER TENANTSTenants can pay with a check money order cashierrsquos check

Deferred maintenance can cause substantial financial impact

to your property value and your cash flow Preventative

responsive and emergency maintenance services position your

property to perform according to your financial goals

PRESENTATIONMaintenance impacts presentation of your home A clean

well maintained rental property attracts highly qualified

tenants A highly qualified tenant is more likely to reduce your

maintenance expense and is much less likely to experience

early termination of the lease agreement

PREVENTIONA preventive program reduces maintenance expense by an

estimated factor of 10 and keeps your property in better

condition Regular maintenance surveys are scheduled

bi-annually or quarterly You will have the option to include

regular fertilization furnace tune-up pest control and other

property services that reduce overall maintenance costs and

maximize the quality of your real estate investment

ACCESS TO FINANCIAL

In addition to providing monthly detailed and customizable

reports detailing transactions on rental properties there are

several accounting services provided These services are

designed to protect owner funds and tenant funds from misuse

bull Separate bank account for operating funds

bull Separate bank account for tenant security deposits

bull Bi-monthly security deposit balance

bull Third party reconciliation

bull Fidelity Bond protects funds up to $100000

There have been several local and state level stories in

which property managers or companies mismanage funds

The problem is not typically theft The problem is usually

competency Mishandled or co-mingled funds can lead to

substantial loss in investorrsquos security deposits or reserves

The common thread is that the property manager is able to

hide the loss by covering it with other assets

Avoid becoming a victim by knowing how your funds are held

ACCESS TO FINANCIAL

RECORDS

In addition to providing monthly detailed and customizable

reports detailing transactions on rental properties there are

several accounting services provided These services are

designed to protect owner funds and tenant funds from misuse

theft and comingling

bull Monthly statement with online access

bull Separate bank account for operating funds

bull Separate bank account for tenant security deposits

bull Bi-monthly security deposit balance

bull Third party reconciliation

bull Fidelity Bond protects funds up to $100000

There have been several local and state level stories in

which property managers or companies mismanage funds

The problem is not typically theft The problem is usually

competency Mishandled or co-mingled funds can lead to

substantial loss in investorrsquos security deposits or reserves

The common thread is that the property manager is able to

hide the loss by covering it with other assets

Avoid becoming a victim by knowing how your funds are held

and what practices are being implemented to protect funds

related to your rental property

When management begins all investors are given the

opportunity to detail their financial goals in the format of

an annual budget This process clarifies expectations and

becomes the first step in specifically meeting owner goals

Once these financial goals are created they are referenced

once each quarter Goals are referenced in a ldquoGoals Versus

Actualsrdquo report that analyzes financial performance compared

to the budget This process increases communication

and accountability and keeps property managers and

owners focused on the goal With the end in mind portfolio

performance improves substantially

Goals directed management also provides investors with

a projection tool to create a detailed roadmap in moving

forward with other real estate investments With historical

data on different types of property investors can project likely

performance on prospective real estate investments in order to

determine whether the investment fits with investor goals

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Would you rather have a 6 fee with half a monthrsquos rent for

a lease signing fee Or would you rather pay 10 of all rent

collected

EXAMPLE

You have a house that rents for $800month

6 of rent for the year is $576

Lease signing costs $400 = $976

10 of rents = $960

With turnover typically being the largest expense in property

management do you want to pay your management company

to create more turnover Owners are responsible for the costs

of advertising This includes payment for internet advertising

and Internet Listing Sites Jacob Grant secures advertising at

a discounted rate That discounted rate gets passed to the

property owner

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR MULTI-PROPERTY PORTFOLIOSYes there is typically a discount for multiple properties

Other factors included are condition of the property type

location and owner goals Pricing ranges between 8 and 10

There is a completely different management structure and

pricing schedule for apartment communities that are above

100 units

WHAT ARE THE CONTRACT CANCELLATION TERMSWe guarantee your satisfaction There is no fee for

cancellation The contract can be canceled with 30 days of

written notice

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A TENANT MOVES OUTWhen we receive a 30 day notice for a tenant to move out

we begin marketing immediately This increased exposure

substantially decreases vacancy periods (we average 3-4

vacancy rate)

The business day after the tenant moves out we have a move

out inspection The move out inspection includes a detailed

report along with a video Repairs housekeeping and carpet

cleaning are scheduled immediately A short make ready period

is important in order to make walk throughs available as soon

as possible

The move out process includes a detailed financial statement

to the tenant that moved out detailing any charges for items

that are above ldquonormal wear and tearrdquo as defined by the Idaho

Landlord Tenant Handbook

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENTWe serve a 3 day pay or quit notice as provided by Idaho Law

If we have not received rent within 3 days we provide the

landlord with recommendations to move forward to evict

This process is streamlined to leave you to make the decision

but out of the process

WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCEProperty managers are required to have written permission

in order to complete maintenance over a dollar amount

(See contract It is typically $200) The exclusion to this is

emergencies or health and safety concerns Examples include

a flooding basement or non-functioning heat during subfreezing

temperatures Owners will still see communication but if we

cannot contact you the work will still be scheduled in order to

keep the tenants safe

WHEN DO YOU PAY OWNERSFunds are dispersed to owners on the 15th of every month

In the event that the 15th is a weekend or a holiday funds will

be dispersed on the following regular bank day All funds are

dispersed via ACH into a checking account of your choice

WHAT ACCOUNTING DO YOU OFFERMonthly accounting is provided to owners after funds are

dispersed on the 15th You will see line item by line item

income and expenses on your monthly report You will receive

a copy of paid invoices as well as your monthly reserve

balance Additional reporting can be requested All 1099s are

paid out annually to vendors on behalf of owners Year-end

statements are provided to owners for tax purposes

DO YOU PROVIDE ACCESS TO ONLINE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOwners have an ldquoOwnerrsquos Portalrdquo in which they can view all

of their financial statements at any time Sensitive financial

information is protected by a secure connection The secure

connection uses AES_256_CBC which is a 256 bit encryption

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH LATE FEESLate fees require owners to wait for their funds and property

managers to chase tenants for rent Therefore they are split

50-50

SHOULD I ALLOW PETS IN MY RENTAL PROPERTYPets are a difficult decision They have the potential

to do serious damage but if you refuse them you are

removing approximately 60 of the market Typically our

recommendation is to allow pets and remediate the risk by

holding a larger deposit The deposit is based on carpet

replacement cost Pets present the most risk to carpets

Even if you decide to accept pets there is a list of pets that

are not allowed because our liability policy and most policies

held by owners have exclusions with these dogs To see a list

of the breeds you can click on application requirements in the

prospective tenant section on jacobgrantcom

Jacob Grant has a pet application process and scoring system

that measures potential risk of the pet and cost risk if the pet

does damage There is additional deposit to help reduce this

exposure

Fair housing requires that service animals are allowed even in

ldquono-petrdquo housing Charging additional rent or security deposit

for a service animal is illegal If someone has a service animal

and completes the appropriate paperwork you will be notified

FAQs

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIESUtilities will be addressed when you sign a contract with Jacob

Grant Property Management A landlord agreement will be

created by the owner and listed as follows

Ownerrsquos name or company name

co Jacob Grant Property Management

490 Park Ave Suite 1

Idaho Falls ID 83402

These agreements decrease the cost of turning utilities on

and off and greatly reduces the risk of frozen pipes during

the winter

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENT MY PROPERTYThere are many factors that go into renting your property

PRICE

When rental properties are over-priced they typically do not

rent quickly

CLEANLINESS AND REPAIR

Rental properties that are clean and in good repair show better

and therefore rent more quickly

SEASON

There are not as many people looking for rental properties in

winter months This smaller pool of renters reduces the speed

with which properties rent

During the spring and summer when rent is set correctly

properties will typically rent within 14 days of being advertised

Many times if we are marketing vacancies while the previous

tenants are still living in them they rent even more quickly

Note Jacob Grant Property Management uses Lease Targeting

as much as possible Lease Targeting means we change the

lease end dates according to the season If we are marketing

a rental property in November we will try for a shorter term

lease and sometimes we are even able to secure 15-18

month leases Though this is not always possible Lease

Targeting reduces your overall vacancy

WHAT SERVICES ARE OUTSOURCEDAll housekeeping handyman repairs plumbing electrical

and other services to your property are outsourced We use

multiple companies in each area as this increases speed and

quality of work This reduces property vacancy

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK ON THE PROPERTYBesides move-ins and move-outs there are multiple ways we

keep eyes on the property

DRIVE-BY INSPECTION REPORT

This report is exactly like it sounds It is a curbside report

that reports the appearance and condition from the exterior

Frequency is between monthly and quarterly Cost is 0 if

initiated by Jacob Grant Cost is $49 if requested by owner

MAINTENANCE SURVEYS

These maintenance inspections check on the major functions

of the interior and exterior of the home They are scheduled

2 3 or 4 times per year depending on what you decide on

your preventative maintenance plan Frequency is between

bi-annually and quarterly Cost is between $35 and $55

depending on size of property

PROPERTY MANAGER INSPECTION

These are not regular inspections as it can greatly

inconvenience and reduce comfort of high quality tenants

Property managers sometimes deem these necessary when

other violations are present Frequency is as needed

Zero cost

FAQs

HOW DO YOU HANDLE ldquoBAD TENANTSrdquoWhen a tenant violates the lease we follow up with a lease

violation This is a form that outlines the violation and

references the portion of the lease that is violated There is

an associated fee and sometimes follow up interior or exterior

inspection depending on the violation

Sometimes a neighbor will know about a violation before we

do In the case that we receive information from a neighbor

we follow up with verification of the violation

WHAT TYPES OF PROPERTIES DO YOU MANAGEWe manage single family homes apartment complexes

4-plexes duplexes condos and townhomes In addition

we manage apartment communities

WHAT ARE YOUR CERTIFICATIONSWe are highly involved with the National Association for

Residential Property Managers (NARPM) and attend national

conferences to facilitate ongoing education and stay up-to-date

with industry best practices

We are also highly involved with the Institute of Real Estate

Management (IREM) This is a highly respected property

management education system which offers certifications

such as the Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) or the elite

Certified Property Manager (CPM)

Jacob Grant encourages all staff to take IREM classes through

pay increase incentive and scholarship support for financial

help We currently have one CPM on staff and others that

are on their way We believe education increases our ability

to meet ownerrsquos goals increases our professionalism and

maximize our potential

HOW DO YOU COLLECT AND STORE SECURITY DEPOSITSSecurity deposits are collected in guaranteed funds prior to

tenants receiving keys to the property Security deposit funds

are considered tenant funds until move out therefore the funds

are held in a separate escrow account This account is verified

and reconciled twice per month At move out the funds are

dispersed to pay qualified repairs and cleaning or dispersed

back to the tenant according to the lease and Idaho State Law

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TENANCYThere is a lot of variability in length of tenancy Typically there

are shorter occupancy periods in studios and 1 bedroom

apartments and in homes that rent for more than $1300

Our average occupancies are between 12 and 18 months

The longest occupancy periods tend to be associated with

properties that are between $700 and $1200 We see

occupancies that last 2-3 years regularly We have seen

tenants live in a studio apartment for 10 years and we have

had people live in a 6000 sqft home for 2 months These

situations are atypical and not the rule

WHAT RENT COLLECTION OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER TENANTSTenants can pay with a check money order cashierrsquos check

credit card debit card or ACH payment We accept almost

everything except cash The ldquono-cashrdquo policy protects

your funds

HOW MANY TENANTS HAVE YOU EVICTED IN THE LAST YEAROur eviction rate for tenants that we place is less than 1

For properties that we manage after someone else has placed

the tenants the eviction rate can be as high as 10 depending

on the screening procedures used prior to our management

Would you rather have a 6 fee with half a monthrsquos rent for

a lease signing fee Or would you rather pay 10 of all rent

collected

EXAMPLE

You have a house that rents for $800month

6 of rent for the year is $576

Lease signing costs $400 = $976

10 of rents = $960

With turnover typically being the largest expense in property

management do you want to pay your management company

to create more turnover Owners are responsible for the costs

of advertising This includes payment for internet advertising

and Internet Listing Sites Jacob Grant secures advertising at

a discounted rate That discounted rate gets passed to the

property owner

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR MULTI-PROPERTY PORTFOLIOSYes there is typically a discount for multiple properties

Other factors included are condition of the property type

location and owner goals Pricing ranges between 8 and 10

pricing schedule for apartment communities that are above

100 units

WHAT ARE THE CONTRACT CANCELLATION TERMSWe guarantee your satisfaction There is no fee for

cancellation The contract can be canceled with 30 days of

written notice

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A TENANT MOVES OUTWhen we receive a 30 day notice for a tenant to move out

we begin marketing immediately This increased exposure

substantially decreases vacancy periods (we average 3-4

vacancy rate)

The business day after the tenant moves out we have a move

out inspection The move out inspection includes a detailed

report along with a video Repairs housekeeping and carpet

cleaning are scheduled immediately A short make ready period

is important in order to make walk throughs available as soon

as possible

The move out process includes a detailed financial statement

to the tenant that moved out detailing any charges for items

that are above ldquonormal wear and tearrdquo as defined by the Idaho

Landlord Tenant Handbook

WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENANT DOES NOT PAY RENTWe serve a 3 day pay or quit notice as provided by Idaho Law

If we have not received rent within 3 days we provide the

landlord with recommendations to move forward to evict

This process is streamlined to leave you to make the decision

but out of the process

WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MAINTENANCEProperty managers are required to have written permission

in order to complete maintenance over a dollar amount

(See contract It is typically $200) The exclusion to this is

emergencies or health and safety concerns Examples include

a flooding basement or non-functioning heat during subfreezing

temperatures Owners will still see communication but if we

cannot contact you the work will still be scheduled in order to

keep the tenants safe

WHEN DO YOU PAY OWNERSFunds are dispersed to owners on the 15th of every month

In the event that the 15th is a weekend or a holiday funds will

be dispersed on the following regular bank day All funds are

dispersed via ACH into a checking account of your choice

WHAT ACCOUNTING DO YOU OFFERMonthly accounting is provided to owners after funds are

dispersed on the 15th You will see line item by line item

income and expenses on your monthly report You will receive

a copy of paid invoices as well as your monthly reserve

balance Additional reporting can be requested All 1099s are

paid out annually to vendors on behalf of owners Year-end

DO YOU PROVIDE ACCESS TO ONLINE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSOwners have an ldquoOwnerrsquos Portalrdquo in which they can view all

of their financial statements at any time Sensitive financial

information is protected by a secure connection The secure

connection uses AES_256_CBC which is a 256 bit encryption

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH LATE FEESLate fees require owners to wait for their funds and property

managers to chase tenants for rent Therefore they are split

50-50

SHOULD I ALLOW PETS IN MY RENTAL PROPERTYPets are a difficult decision They have the potential

to do serious damage but if you refuse them you are

removing approximately 60 of the market Typically our

recommendation is to allow pets and remediate the risk by

holding a larger deposit The deposit is based on carpet

replacement cost Pets present the most risk to carpets

Even if you decide to accept pets there is a list of pets that

are not allowed because our liability policy and most policies

held by owners have exclusions with these dogs To see a list

of the breeds you can click on application requirements in the

prospective tenant section on jacobgrantcom

Jacob Grant has a pet application process and scoring system

that measures potential risk of the pet and cost risk if the pet

does damage There is additional deposit to help reduce this

exposure

Fair housing requires that service animals are allowed even in

ldquono-petrdquo housing Charging additional rent or security deposit

for a service animal is illegal If someone has a service animal

and completes the appropriate paperwork you will be notified

WHAT ABOUT UTILITIESUtilities will be addressed when you sign a contract with Jacob

Grant Property Management A landlord agreement will be

created by the owner and listed as follows

Ownerrsquos name or company name

co Jacob Grant Property Management

490 Park Ave Suite 1

Idaho Falls ID 83402

These agreements decrease the cost of turning utilities on

and off and greatly reduces the risk of frozen pipes during

the winter

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RENT MY PROPERTYThere are many factors that go into renting your property

PRICE

When rental properties are over-priced they typically do not

rent quickly

CLEANLINESS AND REPAIR

Rental properties that are clean and in good repair show better

and therefore rent more quickly

SEASON

There are not as many people looking for rental properties in

winter months This smaller pool of renters reduces the speed

with which properties rent

During the spring and summer when rent is set correctly

properties will typically rent within 14 days of being advertised

Many times if we are marketing vacancies while the previous

tenants are still living in them they rent even more quickly

Note Jacob Grant Property Management uses Lease Targeting

as much as possible Lease Targeting means we change the

lease end dates according to the season If we are marketing

a rental property in November we will try for a shorter term

lease and sometimes we are even able to secure 15-18

month leases Though this is not always possible Lease

Targeting reduces your overall vacancy

WHAT SERVICES ARE OUTSOURCEDAll housekeeping handyman repairs plumbing electrical

and other services to your property are outsourced We use

multiple companies in each area as this increases speed and

quality of work This reduces property vacancy

Every company is required to sign a contract provide proof

of liability insurance and workers compensation and show

consistent professionalism with tenants They are also

required to provide quality repairs consistent with pricing

We typically donrsquot go with the very cheapest service in town

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK ON THE PROPERTYBesides move-ins and move-outs there are multiple ways we

keep eyes on the property

DRIVE-BY INSPECTION REPORT

This report is exactly like it sounds It is a curbside report

that reports the appearance and condition from the exterior

Frequency is between monthly and quarterly Cost is 0 if

initiated by Jacob Grant Cost is $49 if requested by owner

MAINTENANCE SURVEYS

These maintenance inspections check on the major functions

of the interior and exterior of the home They are scheduled

2 3 or 4 times per year depending on what you decide on

your preventative maintenance plan Frequency is between

bi-annually and quarterly Cost is between $35 and $55

depending on size of property

PROPERTY MANAGER INSPECTION

These are not regular inspections as it can greatly

inconvenience and reduce comfort of high quality tenants

Property managers sometimes deem these necessary when

other violations are present Frequency is as needed

Zero cost

FAQs

HOW DO YOU HANDLE ldquoBAD TENANTSrdquoWhen a tenant violates the lease we follow up with a lease

violation This is a form that outlines the violation and

references the portion of the lease that is violated There is

an associated fee and sometimes follow up interior or exterior

inspection depending on the violation

Sometimes a neighbor will know about a violation before we

do In the case that we receive information from a neighbor

we follow up with verification of the violation

WHAT TYPES OF PROPERTIES DO YOU MANAGEWe manage single family homes apartment complexes

4-plexes duplexes condos and townhomes In addition

we manage apartment communities

WHAT ARE YOUR CERTIFICATIONSWe are highly involved with the National Association for

Residential Property Managers (NARPM) and attend national

conferences to facilitate ongoing education and stay up-to-date

with industry best practices

We are also highly involved with the Institute of Real Estate

Management (IREM) This is a highly respected property

management education system which offers certifications

such as the Accredited Residential Manager (ARM) or the elite

Certified Property Manager (CPM)

Jacob Grant encourages all staff to take IREM classes through

pay increase incentive and scholarship support for financial

help We currently have one CPM on staff and others that

are on their way We believe education increases our ability

to meet ownerrsquos goals increases our professionalism and

maximize our potential

HOW DO YOU COLLECT AND STORE SECURITY DEPOSITSSecurity deposits are collected in guaranteed funds prior to

tenants receiving keys to the property Security deposit funds

are considered tenant funds until move out therefore the funds

are held in a separate escrow account This account is verified

and reconciled twice per month At move out the funds are

dispersed to pay qualified repairs and cleaning or dispersed

back to the tenant according to the lease and Idaho State Law

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TENANCYThere is a lot of variability in length of tenancy Typically there

are shorter occupancy periods in studios and 1 bedroom

apartments and in homes that rent for more than $1300

Our average occupancies are between 12 and 18 months

The longest occupancy periods tend to be associated with

properties that are between $700 and $1200 We see

occupancies that last 2-3 years regularly We have seen

tenants live in a studio apartment for 10 years and we have

had people live in a 6000 sqft home for 2 months These

situations are atypical and not the rule

WHAT RENT COLLECTION OPTIONS DO YOU OFFER TENANTSTenants can pay with a check money order cashierrsquos check

credit card debit card or ACH payment We accept almost

everything except cash The ldquono-cashrdquo policy protects

your funds

HOW MANY TENANTS HAVE YOU EVICTED IN THE LAST YEAROur eviction rate for tenants that we place is less than 1

For properties that we manage after someone else has placed

the tenants the eviction rate can be as high as 10 depending

on the screening procedures used prior to our management

as the long term results are not beneficial to properties or

owners and typically increase liability risk in the case of injury

or damages

depending on size of property
