         Part of our property management services, we include a "Move in inspection".  To conduct a move-in inspection, we get a rental condition report. 
        &#xD;
&lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Once the tenant has completed the lease, and sent their e-transfer for first and last month’s rent, we schedule the day to come to the unit and complete an inspection.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Key things we look for during our inspection is that all of the appliances are properly functioning and there is running water- that gets hot.  We take a walk-through of the unit to ensure that the smoke detectors work properly, and that the trim, flooring and walls are clean so the tenants have a clean apartment to move into.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Once the inspection is complete, we ask that the tenant sign the condition report and we know that the apartment is safe and ready for them to move in.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Processing a Rental Application Form</title>
      <link>https://www.livewithbk.com/process-a-rental-application-form</link>
      <description>In this post, we will be showing you how we process a rental application form.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;h4&gt;&#xD;
  
         Processing a Rental Application is a service we include in our Property Management services we offer in Barrie and Area. 
        &#xD;
&lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           The tenant will complete our standard Tenant Application form, in which they will need to fill in their full name, co-applicants name, present address and landlord information, as well as income information.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           With this information, we can then enter it into a TVS credit decision report from Equifax.  This report helps us to gain information regarding their employment, any inquiries made by the credit bureau, as well as lets us know of any collections or possible bankruptcies.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           It generates a score and a grade, which is used as part of our process to determine a suitable applicant for one of our rental properties.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

      <title>5 Things Live with BK Property Management is Different</title>
      <link>https://www.livewithbk.com/5-things-live-with-bk-property-management-is-different</link>
      <description>The 5 things that makes our Live With BK Property Management company, serving Barrie and area different than everybody else.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;h4&gt;&#xD;
  
         Number 1 - We became real estate investing experts first. 
        &#xD;
&lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          We became real estate investing experts first. We have purchased more than 85 properties in the past 4 years, and currently manage our own portfolio of over 130 units. What that means to you, is that we understand how to add value to your property, maximize the rental income, and maximize your returns.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h4&gt;&#xD;
  
         Number 2 - We become property management experts by managing our own portfolio first. 
        &#xD;
&lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          We become property management experts by managing our own portfolio first. What that means to you, is that we have done the trial and error prior to taking over managing your properties. The most important thing is we will treat your property just like we would treat our own.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h4&gt;&#xD;
  
         Number 3 - We built a local resource of experts.
        &#xD;
&lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          We have extensive team of local experts and professionals who can solve any problems the first time.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h4&gt;&#xD;
  
         Number 4 - We also ooffer in house renovation and maintenance services.
        &#xD;
&lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          We are not only offering property management services we also offer in house renovation and maintenance services. These are strategic renovations that can maximize returns, maximize rents and maximize the overall value of your property. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Our approach is to take quality over quantity so that way we can give you the best property management services available throughout Simcoe County.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h4&gt;&#xD;
  
         Lastly, Number 5 - We are a family owned and run business. 
        &#xD;
&lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          We are a family owned and run business. Our approach is to take quality over quantity so that way we can give you the best property management services available throughout Simcoe County. 
         &#xD;

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Now those are the top 5 things that make Live with BK Property Management different and set us apart from the rest.
