Management Fees and Vacancies
Management Fees
- Our monthly management fee is payable when the rent payment is received. It is
automatically deducted from your account at the time the rent payment is posted. However,
since one of our jobs is keeping your property occupied, we will not take our management fee as
long as your property remains vacant.
Vacancies
- Vacancies are expensive for both of us. We make every effort to keep our vacancies to a
minimum. We maintain an extensive database of the features that make your property special.
This enables us to quickly produce an attractive listing of your property to be given to
prospective tenants and local leasing personnel.
Preventive Maintenance
AQUA Property Group offers owners an optional preventive maintenance plan for air
conditioners, water systems and plumbing. Preventive maintenance is a schedule of planned
maintenance actions aimed at the prevention of breakdowns and failures. The primary goal of
preventive maintenance is to prevent the failure of equipment before it actually occurs. It is
designed to preserve and enhance equipment reliability by replacing worn components before
they actually fail.

2012 STATISTIC:
In 2012 there were over 9000 evictions filed in the city Cape Coral alone. Dubious renters seek
homes that are being rented and managed directly by owners that do not live in Cape Coral
or in the state of Florida. They fail to pay rent, give excuse after excuse as to why they cannot
do so and leave your home destroyed in the process. If this scenario fits what you are currently
going through or wondering if this could happen to you if you choose to rent and self manage
your home from a distance, think again. Numbers do not lie.

Landlord Controlled Lawn Care Service
A tenants version of cutting and trimming your lawn is not the same as our version of cutting and trimming
your lawn. We've found that over 85% of property managed homes that do not include lawn services are
being neglected and causing the home to be an eyesore for surrounding neighbors. We cannot do
anything but send a notice to cure to tenants that will not maintain your grounds.
In an effort to keep your costs down, profits up and to ensure your lawn is being maintained to city zoning
codes, Aqua Property Group Inc is now offering annual lawn care contracts.
10 benefits to offering lawn care (recommended)
The Brazilian Pepper Plant
Note: The Brazilian pepper is an aggressive growing invasive species that has done an estimated 1.5 billion
in damages in the state of Florida alone, being that it is an invasive species from south America it has
nothing to keep it in check and spreads like wild fire doing damage to landscaping, overgrowing in empty
lots, and along the many water ways in Florida, causing for costly cleanups. That being said the state of
Florida has listed the Brazilian pepper on the invasive species list for plants that are to be removed and kept
out of yards and landscaping. To avoid future costs, removing the Brazilian pepper during a first clean up is
recommended.

5 Concrete Ways a Property Management Company Can Save Time and Money for an Owner
In this article, I will show you how property management can save the owner more than just the cost of the
management fee. Let’s say we have a property that rents for $1500/month. We'll use 8% of $1500 which is
$120/month. I’ll show you how a property manager can save over $1200/year by using a professional in the
business.
1. The first way a property management company can save you money is by maximizing rents. Property
managers understand rental prices and what a tenant is willing to pay for a certain unit in a certain area.
Property managers also have an edge on advertising and showing. They know all the right places to
advertise and are available immediately to show properties to get them rented for the best possible price.
On average a property management company can save at least $50/month over 1 year which is already
$600
2. The second way a property management company can save you money is by minimizing vacancies. Your
average owner takes about 60 days to fill a vacancy depending on the market of course. With a property
manager, they average less than 30 days. Again, with an average rent of $1500, the professional saves you
over 1 year $1500 from this one area.
3. The third area a property management company can save you money is by advertising. Property
managers have discounted rates with websites and newspapers. They can usually save at least $150 in
advertising over 1 year versus an individual owner.
4. The fourth area a property management company can save you money is through maintenance and
repairs. Most property management companies have access to vendors at discounted rates. Our company
saves as much as 30% the regular cost to an individual owner. For an average single family house the cost
of maintenance and repairs over 1 year averages about $1200. With a 30% savings this saves the owner
$360 over 1 year.
5. The fifth way a property management company can save you money is by finding a good qualified tenant
through our screening techniques. Most property management companies have less than a 1% eviction rate
because of the thorough screening procedures that they have implemented. The “bad apples” know that they
can’t pass a property management company’s screening process so they rent from the individual owners
and sell them on how good of a tenant they will be even though they have no credit, or no rental references, or
no ID, or a lot of other excuses they use. This alone saves the owner the cost of eviction which in our area
averages about $400, the cost of loss rent of about 1 month of $1,500, and the cost of repairs of about
$1,500. This thorough screening process alone can save the owner $3,500!
Most owners only think about the management fee that they’re losing and not about these 5 areas that a
property management company can save them money. With these average estimates above, a professional
property management company can save them owner over $7,450 in year. And what was the cost of that
property management company? Only $1,200 for the year. This would have saved the owner $6,250 by
using a professional.
