REPAIR & CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SERVICES
D&M can handle most basic carpentry, electrical, plumbing, masonry, and roofing repair work.  If a job is beyond the scope of our capability or is a sizeable project, D&M will obtain bids from outside vendors and give you the opportunity to weigh in on the decision as to who should perform the work.

For planned capital improvement projects, D&M will create a statement of work and obtain competitive bids from licensed and insured contractors.  Again, we’ll allow you to weigh in on the decision before awarding a job.

No matter how large or small a project, D&M will always manage it to satisfactory completion.

FINANCIAL & ACCOUNTING SERVICES
D&M provides a number of financial services to assist you in understanding the financial state of your property.

Our goal is to maintain good, clean books and provide our clients with current, accurate and understandable information that will allow them to easily account for every dollar spent or saved.

We’ll set up and maintain accounts with utility companies (gas, electric, oil, water/sewer), special service companies (garbage/recycling, fire alarm, security alarm, elevator, pest control, locksmith, etc.) and city, county and state regulatory bodies.  We will pay all bills, deposit all rents and receivables, reconcile all accounts, and produce a comprehensive financial package that includes the following:

• Bank Account Reconciliation
• Income & Expense Statement
• Balance Sheet Statement
• Receivables Report

In addition, we compile all information necessary for your tax preparer…Or our CPA will file your tax return.

We also perform a year-end financial review and prepare an Annual Budget for the upcoming year.

RENTAL & SALES SERVICES
D&M’s primary goal is to keep your property rented for the highest possible rent.  We will proactively market your property directly to consumers as well as to our network of realtors and real estate professionals to ensure the lowest possible vacancy factor.

When it comes to selling your property or exchanging it for another investment, we can help.  We will assess the value of your property based on a cash flow model and a comparable sales comparison.  If you wish to sell it “by owner”, then we’ll assist you in your effort.  And if you want to list your property with a reputable realtor, D&M can refer you to a number of qualified sales professionals.
