For complete fee details, visit
doorvest.com/property-management-termsYour Property Management Agreement outlines your specific fee structure. If you have questions about any fees, use the Messages Tab to ask your property manager.
Your Property Management Agreement is available in the Doorvest portal.
You'll be prompted to review your PMA as one of your action items. This includes:
- Management fee percentage and structure
- Services included and excluded
- Maintenance approval thresholds
- Reserve fund policies
Access your PMA anytime in the Documents section of your portal.
Use the Messages Tab to ask your property manager. They can walk you through any terms or fees.
The Doorvest portal includes a streamlined maintenance approval process:
1. You'll receive a notification when approval is needed
2. View the maintenance request details in the portal — scope of work, estimated cost, contractor info
3. Approve or request more information
4. Track work progress and completion
Your Property Management Agreement specifies when approval is required based on cost. Routine repairs below your threshold are handled automatically.
Emergency repairs (water leaks, HVAC failures, safety hazards) may be completed immediately to prevent property damage. You'll be notified after the fact with full documentation.
Respond to non-emergency maintenance requests within 2-3 business days. Delayed responses can turn small issues into expensive repairs.
Maintenance costs are deducted from your rental income or reserve balance as outlined in your management agreement.
- Costs appear on your monthly statement with full detail
- Invoices and receipts are available in the portal
- Large expenses above your approval threshold require your sign-off first
- If repairs exceed your reserve, you'll need to fund them or they may be delayed
When repairs exceed your reserve balance, you'll be notified. You can fund additional repairs through the Payment Center in the portal.
