Question 1

How do I get started with Idahills?

Accepted Answer

Call us at (208) 545-5762 or fill out the contact form on our website. We'll have a quick conversation about your property, then we'll walk you through our management agreement and get you set up, typically within a few business days.

Question 2

Do you require a long-term contract?

Accepted Answer

We believe in earning your business every month. We don't lock you into multi-year contracts. Our agreements are straightforward with reasonable notice periods, so you're never trapped.

Question 3

What types of properties do you manage?

Accepted Answer

We manage single-family homes, duplexes, small apartment buildings, and multi-unit properties throughout Southern Idaho.

Question 4

I have a vacant property right now. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We'll assess your property, recommend any pre-listing improvements, price it for the market, list it across major rental platforms, and screen applicants. Most properties we list are rented within 30 days.

Question 5

How do you screen tenants?

Accepted Answer

Every applicant goes through a full background check, credit report review, employment and income verification, and prior rental history check. We're thorough because bad tenants cost you far more than a few extra days of vacancy.

Question 6

How long does it typically take to find a tenant?

Accepted Answer

It varies by property and location, but most of our listings are rented within 2 to 4 weeks. Pricing matters, and we'll help you find the rate that balances strong rent with minimal vacancy.

Question 7

When do I receive my rental income?

Accepted Answer

Rents are collected at the beginning of the month, and owner disbursements are sent by direct deposit typically within the first 10 business days of the month, after any maintenance expenses are reconciled.

Question 8

What happens if a tenant pays late?

Accepted Answer

We send automated late notices immediately and follow up with every tenant who falls behind. We handle all of the awkward conversations so you don't have to.

Question 9

Do you handle evictions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If it comes to that, we guide you through the Idaho eviction process: proper notices, documentation, and coordination with legal counsel if needed.

Question 10

How do you handle maintenance requests?

Accepted Answer

Tenants submit requests through our portal. We assess urgency, dispatch one of our vetted local contractors, and keep you informed. For non-emergency repairs, we get owner approval before authorizing work above a set threshold.

Question 11

How does your pricing work?

Accepted Answer

We charge a straightforward monthly management fee based on your property and rental income. There's no hidden fee maze. Call us for a specific quote.

Question 12

Is there a fee to find a new tenant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tenant placement involves a one-time fee that covers advertising, screening, and lease preparation. This is separate from the ongoing monthly management fee. We explain both upfront before you sign anything.
