You most certainly can. Vault PM operate in Adelaide, Brisbane, Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Sydney, instead of dealing with multiple different agencies you will have just one point of contact.

We use multiple platforms to better our service to our clients.

There are two main platforms we use.  Our rental management system is Property Tree and we use Maintenance Manager to log our maintenance.

Other platforms we use are our CRM, inspection system for routines/ingoing/outgoing reports and a system to track our tenant applications and building an extensive database of prospective tenants.

Vault PM have a 5 step application process which involves, ID checks, employment checks, tenant default database, previous rental history and affordability. 

We also take care in qualifying a tenant at the open for inspection and finding the right fit for the property.

At Vault Property Management we have zero tolerance for arrears.

Our property managers carry out arrears reports on a daily basis. If tenants go into arrears there is a process in which we follow, from 3 days of arrears we are in contact with the tenant up to sending breach notices and evictions.  With several points of contacts such as phone, sms and emails. 

It is important to note that we are also in contact with you so you can be prepared if you need to cover that next mortgage payment.

We are governed by the Residential Tenancy Act for the relevant state. 

At Vault Property Management we have stringent processes and checklists in place to ensure the termination is conducted as efficiently and smoothly as possible. 

Once again you are communicated with through the whole process.

Once your investment property is with Vault PM you are assigned one of our experienced property managers who will look after the repairs and maintenance at your property.

We have a team of licensed and insured tradesman on our books to attend to any maintenance needs.

It is important to note that should you wish to attend some of the maintenance yourself this too is also okay and we can help you organise access.

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.

Vault PM carry out 3 monthly inspections, if after two of those inspections the tenant is keeping the property immaculate, we then seek approval from our client to move the tenant to 6 monthly inspections.

This can be reverted to 3 monthly inspections if we are not happy with an inspection and will automatically revert back to 3 monthly on a change of tenancy.

Vault PM carry out payments to our clients on the 15^th and 30^th of each month.

These payments are carried out electronically into your nominated bank account.

We offer two payments a month to reduce your mortgage repayments and increase cash flow

We process payments to our clients at the middle and end of each month, once a payment is made into your nominated account you will receive a rental statement to your email.

This statement outlines income and expenditure and attaches any invoices that you have paid for in relation to maintenance, council and water rates etc.

100% yes. Vault PM strongly advise that you arrange landlord insurance. Your investment needs to be protected from fire, flood, tenant or pet damage and rental arrears.

We encourage you to call your property manager who will be able to advise and help you through this process. As in some states there is different legislation that a tenant may be able to break their lease and in turn this could leave you with a vacant property and no cash flow.
