Bankruptcy

If the tenant files bankruptcy, the eviction process is subject to the automatic stay in the bankruptcy case, and if an eviction action has been filed, it will be dropped from the State Court’s docket to be reset if the tenant’s bankruptcy case is dismissed.

When a bankruptcy case is filed, we usually negotiate a Consent Order Conditionally Terminating the Automatic Stay. In that instance, any rent that was due prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition is put into the tenant’s bankruptcy plan and is treated as a secured claim to be paid at 100%. The Consent Order also provides that, if the tenant is late in paying rent for the month following the month in which the bankruptcy petition is filed, the automatic stay is lifted and the eviction case can be reset in State Court or filed, if the tenant files bankruptcy prior to the filing of the eviction action.

In some instances, we can file a Motion to Lift the Automatic Stay. This is only used in a few instances primarily because of the amount of time it takes to get the Motion before a Judge. The Motion is first set for a 9:00am hearing, which is not before the Judge, to see if the parties can resolve the matter. If the matter is resolved, it is most likely by a Consent Order similar to the one described hereinabove. If the matter is not resolved at the 9:00am setting, the case is reset for a 10:00am setting which is before the Judge. It usually takes four weeks to get the Motion in front of a Judge. The cost to file the Motion for Stay Relief is at least $176.00.

The Consent Order is more time efficient and more economical than filing the Motion. It also provides a means for the owner to continue receiving ongoing rent during the bankruptcy case.

More About Vacant Properties

For 99% of our customers when a property becomes vacant, we rekey, board up the backside of the house, remove the AC (unless there is a cage), clean out the trash in the house and have the yard deep cleaned. These items all happen day 1-2. The only one not done this way is the trash-out and the yard cleaning but those usually happen within 72 hours.

Our goal is within 5 days we provide you with a scope of work and a quote. Most owners reply to the quote within 24 hours with either questions or approvals.

After approval, we schedule the work to be completed the following week. A work order will be created and the final quote along with pictures will be uploaded to your owner portal when the work is complete. For jobs under $3000, we inspect the job after the contractor has told us that he has completed the work.

For jobs over $3,000, we inspect the job 1-2 times during the rehab to ensure the contractors are following our scope of work and that the quality of work meets our standards.

After a job is complete, our Final Inspection Supervisor inspects the house, compares the work completed to what was scoped and then provides the contractor with a punch item list to complete. While at the house inspecting the property, the Final Inspection Supervisor takes Marketing Pictures and downloads them to DropBox. He also places a For Rent sign in the yard.

Once pictures are taken and the system is updated, our Marketing person uploads the pictures to the website and places the house for rent.

Once the house is published, the Licensed Real Estate Agents receive an automatic email that lets them know the house is on the market.

Agents show the house and have the applicant fill out an application online.

Our Leasing Coordinator receives an email every morning with all Applications ready for review and then runs a Background check which provides a credit score, criminal history, rental history and job history.

If Approved, the Applicant has 48 hours in order to pay a deposit otherwise the house goes to the next approved applicant. Once a deposit is paid, the applicant has 2 weeks in order to pay the rent and move in.

Once a tenant has signed a lease, we give ourselves 24 hours to remove the boards, install the AC unit, turn on the water, light the water heater and then check approximately 30 items in the house to ensure the tenant move-in experience is great.

How are my properties set up in the CrestCore management system?

You begin by signing our Management Agreement which contains a list of your property addresses. We will create an owner portal for you on the CrestCore website where you will receive all communication and documentation. A user guide will be uploaded immediately so you can begin to use the portal right away (click here to view the Owner Portal login screen).

Once my property is in the system what can I expect?

If your property is vacant, we will have our Maintenance department do an evaluation to determine its readiness for leasing. It is our policy, depending on the area, to pull the A/C condenser, cage the A/C unit or leave it as-is. We also board up the windows in vacant properties (at our discretion) to protect your investment. If repair work is required you will be notified and receive a quote for your approval prior to any work being done. If the property is occupied we will contact the tenant immediately to make arrangements to collect the rent.

For more information about vacant property policies and procedures, please see the “Maintenance” and “More About Vacant Properties” sections below.

Who do I contact if I have questions or concerns?

CrestCore has a dedicated Client Services department for your convenience. You may contact Client Services during normal business hours (9AM to 5PM CST Monday through Friday) via email at clientservices@crestcore.com, the Comment area in the Owner Portal, or by phone at 901-385-3119 ext 4.

How is the rent rate set?

Target rent is set using current market analysis and internal statistics. We have developed a proprietary tool that utilizes our 2,000+ property database to accurately assess market conditions. All target rents must be approved by the property owner.

How do you get a tenant for my property?

We maintain a large staff of full-time Leasing Agents along with a dedicated Leasing department to market our managed properties. In addition we advertise the property on the CrestCore website (click here to view the For Rent section of our website) as well as many others like the local MLS, Zillow, Trulia, Hot Pads, Craigslist, etc. A CrestCore For Rent sign will also be placed in the front yard.

When a prospective tenant completes an application to lease the property we put them through an extensive qualification process including, credit check, rental history check, criminal background check, income and identification verification. The time it takes to get the property leased will vary. You will receive weekly updates in your owner portal.

How long does the tenant stay in the property?

Typically, we write our leases for one 12-month period. However, we may write a longer lease with your permission. When a tenant wishes to renew at the end of their term, we will renew the lease for another 12-month period if they have performed according to the conditions of the original lease and you allow them to stay. Sometimes a tenant may remain in the property on a Month-to-Month basis. We require a 30-day notice for all move outs.

What happens if the tenant does not pay the rent?

You will receive monthly updates on rent payments received as well as late payments. Rent is due on the 1st of the month and considered late on the 6th day of the month. Late fees are retained by CrestCore to cover the cost of collections and court appearances.If the rent goes unpaid after the 17th day of the month in which it is due, our Payments & Collections department will send you notice of pending legal action (FED). Charges to cover the court cost and attorney fees start around $225. We only use professional eviction attorneys to handle all evictions. You will have the option to stop the proceedings if you wish by the 20th of the month. The eviction process usually takes 30-45 days plus some additional time to remove the tenant from the property. There may be additional charges related to your case as well as securing the vacant property.For more detail on the eviction process, please see the “More About the Legal Process” section below.

How often do properties go vacant?

According to current statistics vacancy rate is less than 5%. Once a vacant property is refurbished, properties are usually re-leased within 30 to 45 days. We will do a weekly check of all vacant properties at no charge.

What happens to the security deposit when a tenant moves out?

Security deposits are held in an escrow account at Triumph Bank in Memphis, TN.When a tenant moves out, the security deposit is returned to them unless any of the following conditions exist:-They are past due on the rent.-They have unpaid fees.-They have not given proper notice as required.-They have left the property in unsatisfactory condition.Security deposits that are not returned to the tenant will be paid to the property owner.

Will I have to deal with complaints from tenants?

No, we attempt to satisfy tenants at the departmental level. When needed, we involve managers and the Principal Broker of CrestCore. Only after exhausting all avenues without resolution will we ask for your direct involvement.

What happens when work needs to be done on my property?

We handle all small repairs (under $500) as needed. You will be notified by email whenever a work order is opened for maintenance. If the repair is in excess of $500 we will notify you and ask for your permission to proceed. You will receive a written quote of the work to be done as well as itemized charges. CrestCore adds a 15% billing fee to the total of the approved invoice to cover management of the project and final inspection of the work. Once the work order is completed you will see the bill in your owner portal and you will receive a report for the closed work order. You do have the option to secure additional estimates from outside contractors on your own if you wish to do so.

What is the average cost of a repair?

About $125 on average.

Do I need to schedule lawn care if my property becomes vacant?

No, when properties become vacant we put them into our bi-weekly rotation for grass cutting. The charge for this service is around $46 per cut. As a property owner you are responsible to meet city code enforcement standards related to the condition of the lawn – charges from the City can be over $250 for violations.

What about air filters and yearly inspections?

We provide a bi-annual 22-point Inspection and Maintenance service. The following areas are covered.-HVAC system inspection and filter change-Roof inspection-Yard inspection-Exterior walls inspection-Interior inspection including cleanliness, electrical outlets, sink faucets, toilets, lights and fans, and signs of water damage to cabinets or ceilingsChange smoke detector batteries.The charge for this service is $80 per visit (Spring and Fall).Please watch our 3 Ways to Save Money on Maintenance video to learn more about reducing maintenance costs.

When do I receive my Owner Statements?

You will receive an email notice when your statement is available to view on your owner portal on the last business day of the month.

When do I receive my money?

You will receive an email notice that a payment to your account is pending. Checks are cut and direct deposits made on the last business day of the month (your bank may take 48-72hrs to post the direct deposit).On newly leased properties, there are two possible scenarios may apply.Month #1 there will be leasing expenses of 50% of the rents received and your monthly management fee. Your payment will be reduced by these amounts.Month #2 if the Tenant’s move in date was after the first of the month they will pay a prorated rent and this will affect the total payment you receive.You will be charged an on-going monthly management fee based on your Management Agreement.

What happens if my Statement shows a negative balance?

You may experience a month when expenses are greater than the income received. If this happens you can go to your owner portal and make a contribution to your account or mail a check to CrestCore to cover the negative balance. We do not accept credit card payments at this time.

After receiving her BA, Krysti moved back to Kansas where she took a position as an Assistant Manager of a high end apartment community of 240 units and quickly became Property Manager within her first year.  She later became a community Manager in the Mobile home industry with over 348 sites and was promoted to Regional Manager over mobile homes, town homes & single family homes by the age of 30, where she oversaw 1850 sites state wide. Over time, she learned that she wanted to step away from the corporate hustle and be a part of a company, not just work for one any longer.  She joined CrestCore knowing that she would be a part of just that.
Her favorite past time is bass fishing with her husband and son. She also enjoy spending time refinishing old items and making them into beautiful usable pieces.
