Property Evaluation
As investors ourselves, we know what it takes to gget your property rent ready. We will take the following steps to evaluate your property and get you the highest ROI:
- Complete a physical walkthrough of the property
- Identify any needed repairs
- Identify any changes or upgrades that may produce a higher ROI and present them to you
- Work with you to address any concerns you may have
- Determine how to price your property after reviewing comparable rentals
- Depending on your plan, evaluate your portfolio annually and analyze opportunities to make sure you aren’t leaving any money on the table
Marketing

We know how to get your property rented quickly. In fact, we guarantee it (check out our vacancy filling guarantee here). Our robust marketing and leasing process and system tracks every tenant prospect we receive. We advertise your property on our website, yard signs, and the highest-ranking websites like Craigslist, Trulia, Hotpads, Zillow, and Rentals.com, among others. We are quick to follow-up with every prospect and show them the home the same day. We show properties during and after hours to get it rented faster.
Tenant Screening
Tenant screening is one of the biggest opportunities for DIY landlords to make a very costly mistake. It’s far too easy to make a poor tenant selection or inadvertently violate Fair Housing or local laws. This is where we can add incredible value and mitigate risk to your property. Our five-stage screening process is one of the best in the industry. Even with this incredibly thorough screening process, most applicants are screened within 2 business days.
- Stage 1: Property Setup
  Tenant screening starts before we even meet the tenant. We want to make sure that if a tenant prospect calls for a showing, they know they are a viable candidate. We achieve that by thoroughly describing and photographing the property so the tenant knows all the property details before we call. We also use security deposits to attract much better qualified tenants.
- Stage 2: Prospecting
  We capture very valuable information on our first contact with the prospective tenant. Whether they email or call, we document every interaction, looking for the red flags only years of experience can spot.
- Stage 3: Sharing Criteria
  Prior to a prospect applying, we share the application criteria with them, which gives them an opportunity to self-select out if they know they don’t meet our criteria.
- Stage 4: Application & Verification
  The application is submitted, and we verify the following:
  - Who will be living in the unit
  - Income & employment status
  - Credit
  - Prior bankruptcy
  - Eviction history
  - Criminal records
  - Pets
  - Personal references
  - Prior landlord references
- Stage 5: Delay of Process
  If a prospective tenant delays the application & verification or lease signing process, it’s a red flag not to be ignored. Timely follow-through in this stage of the relationship is strongly correlated with timely payment of rent and adhering to the terms of the lease.
Security Deposits

Security deposits are collected and held in a qualified trust account by Sunnon Property Management for the duration of the lease. Security deposits are required to place a hold on a property and are collected in full at lease signing prior to move-in. Tenant charges and credits are accounted for throughout the duration of the lease and after the move-out inspection. Sunnon Property Management handles the refund of the security deposit to the tenant after the move out inspection within the timelines that the state of North Carolina stipulates.
Lease Preparation

We use automated software to prepare tenant leases. This allows us to quickly and accurately rent your property faster. Our leases incorporate the latest North Carolina statute changes and language to protect our owners. We offer flexibility in the lease writing process through the use of addendums. You can rest assured knowing all of our lease templates and addenda have been vetted by a licensed real estate attorney.
