A local agency usually limits its service radius to about a 30-minute distance from their office and often prioritizes their sales division over property rentals. This often leads to the employment of younger, less experienced staff to manage your investment in an attempt to reduce costs.

Additionally, we exclusively specialize in residential property management, ensuring our undivided attention is dedicated to optimizing your investment property to suit your needs.

Renting your property furnished is fine however you need to consider that it can limit your market demand which in turn can lead to longer vacancies and normally attracts shorter term tenancies.
INITIAL POWER conducts inspections every three months. If the property is maintained exceptionally well after two consecutive inspections, we request permission from our client to transition to inspections every six months.
However, if an inspection falls short of our expectations, we reserve the right to revert to three-monthly inspections. Additionally, inspections automatically revert to the three-monthly schedule with any change in tenancy.
INITIAL POWER processes payments to our clients on the 15th and 30th of every month, transferring funds electronically to your designated bank account.
We provide bi-monthly payments to help minimize mortgage repayments and enhance cash flow for our clients.
We arrange payments to our clients midway and toward the end of each month. Once a payment is deposited into your designated account, you will promptly receive a rental statement via email.
This statement details your income and expenditures, and includes invoices for any payments you've made related to maintenance, council fees, water rates, and other relevant expenses.
100% yes. INITIAL POWER strongly advise that you arrange landlord insurance. Your investment needs to be protected from fire, flood, tenant or pet damage and rental arrears.
We recommend reaching out to your property manager, who can offer guidance and support during this procedure. Different states have varying legislation regarding tenants breaking their lease, which could potentially result in your property being vacant with no rental income.
