Getting Your Rental Proceeds, On Time, Every Time

Getting paid should be the easy part, but as a property owner, making sure rent is collected and your proceeds land in your account on time takes real systems behind the scenes. 3 Options Realty provides professional rent collection and disbursement management in Atlanta, Georgia, so you always know what's coming in, what's going out, and when.

How Rental Proceeds Are Collected and Distributed

Most residents pay online today, which speeds up processing. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

1. Payment verification: We confirm the resident's payment has cleared before accounting for the funds, protecting you from payments that could bounce later.
2. Expense deductions: Once cleared, any agreed-upon expenses, repairs, service fees, HOA dues—are deducted.
3. Direct deposit: Net proceeds are sent to you via direct deposit.
4. Monthly statements: You receive a detailed report showing what was collected, what was paid out, and what was disbursed, keeping your finances organized and tax-ready.
5. Owner distributions are processed on the 15th of each month, or the next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday.

What Happens When a Resident Pays Late

Even great residents pay late sometimes, and it directly affects your disbursement timeline. Here's how we handle it:

• Immediate notice: A late notice goes out as soon as the grace period expires.
• Formal action if needed: If rent still isn't paid, we follow the lease terms and Georgia law, up to and including eviction proceedings if necessary.
• Clear communication: You'll always know whether rent has been paid, is pending, or requires further action, never left in the dark.

Managing Disbursements Across Multiple Properties

Owning multiple properties is a smart wealth-building strategy, until juggling separate disbursements becomes a headache. Every property has its own cash flow pattern, residents, and expenses on different timelines.

That's why we provide consolidated owner statements: one master report summarizing all your properties, while each property's finances are still tracked individually for tax and legal purposes. If an issue arises at one property, like a major repair cutting into proceeds, you'll know quickly and understand exactly how it affects your income.

How We Keep Your Cash Flow Reliable

Steady cash flow is the heartbeat of rental property ownership. We protect it through:

• Strong resident screening: Reduces late payment risk and vacancy gaps from the start.
• Firm, fair rent collection: No handshake deals or endless grace periods.
• Controlled expense management: We seek your approval for repairs beyond a set threshold and use trusted vendors to keep costs down.
• Proactive communication: Updates when they matter, and peace of mind the rest of the time.
• Owner Income Protection: We have several optional programs designed to keep your cash flow reliable. Learn more about Owner Protections.
