To provide more insights into our property management arm, we’ve aggregated a list of most frequently asked questions and have answered them below:

How is Doorvest Property Management different from others?

Since our Property Management team is in-house, we are in tune with the history of your property - from its initial acquisition to its renovation and closing. Our colleagues, your Client Partners, are the ones who’ve prepared the home for ownership, and we are able to lean on them to help be the best managers for your property.

We are also optimized for the Doorvest product; as you scale your investment portfolio geographically with more homes in various markets, we are fully equipped to facilitate the management of your assets with the advancement of your financial security in mind.

Furthermore, if you decide to move forward with your exit strategy, we will be able to facilitate this process by buying back/selling the investment property within the Doorvest ecosystem - something many of our homeowners have had success with!

What are the duties of the Property Management team?

1. Leasing the home and finding trustworthy residents.
2. Protecting the home and the resident.
3. Upholding the terms of the lease and HOA management.
4. Handling maintenance requests, coordination, and repairs.
5. Facilitating turnovers and lease renewals.
6. Supporting homeowners by issuing 1099s during the tax season.

After the first year, who decides the rent price?

The rent price is based on the market rate. Our team will do a rental comparable market analysis (CMA) where we look at both the current and historical rent prices for the neighborhood in question, and determine a rent price that’s both competitive and profit-worthy.

We usually recommend the median price, with the goal of increasing rent by at least 2-3% every year. Historically, we’ve been able to meet and exceed this goal.

What happens if there’s a vacancy during & after the first year?

With Basic Property Management, you won't be charged a management fee while the home is vacant. Additionally, if you're receiving DV Boost (supplemental cash flow provided by Doorvest) on your home, you'll continue to receive that amount monthly even during vacancy. With Premium Property Management, coverage goes even further. You'll receive up to 3 occurrences of rent guarantee coverage per year - meaning we'll cover your full distribution amount!

Doorvest empowers buyers to invest in rental homes remotely in less time with less risk. In fact, 18% of our customers have already purchased a second home with Doorvest. To maintain success across the board, we’ve integrated with multiple leasing partners and maintenance companies to maintain our commitment to homeowners who have entrusted us with their assets.
