| | T. C. Lewis & Co. Updates Website; Adds New Features for Tenants and Applicants
A new tenant portal is going active in January to allow for tenants to create his/her own login and view a lot of new features. Tenants can submit and track work orders, make rent payments, check balances, review the lease, and more. This is combined with the new prospect application program allowing applicants to complete the entire application process online. "It's going to be especially easier for folks moving into an area where we have properties from outside the area. The new application, review, and approval process should allow for faster turnaround for applicants and the ability to pay fees and put down deposits completely online," says Cory Lewis, President/CEO. "Our software group has been working hard to get everything fully operational by end of January, and we expect that's when it will be live.” The new website (take a spin by clicking here:
www.TCLRealEstate.com) is live now, is easier to navigate and find information for properties for sale, lease, or for services offered. "We're really pleased with how everything turned out on the website revamp. It looks great, and it should be much better for our users,” says Scott Lucas, Sales and Leasing Advisor. Bad Ass Web Design Co. (www.BadAssWeb.com) completed the website revamp in November 2018. | | |

While the number of households in the U.S. continually increases, almost all the housing demand in recent years has been filled by rental units.” Yes, smart investments can pay off in a steady stream of passive income, and provide a nice chunk of change when you go to sell. But that doesn’t mean you should run and buy a property without learning a thing or two first. Buy wrong or go in unprepared, and you could make a financial mess of things. “Becoming a landlord might sound like an easy way to make money: Buy a property, find tenants and watch the rent checks roll in,” said CBS News. “But it can be a costly undertaking that requires a lot of time and shouldn't be taken on without consideration and research,” said Cory Lewis, T. C. Lewis & Co. CEO and entrepreneur - founder of LeaseAsheville.com.” Ask yourself these questions (and answer honestly!) to determine if you’re ready to be a landlord... | | |
