Joining a new property management company can feel overwhelming, especially if you had a difficult experience with your previous manager or if you are transitioning from self managing. At Formatic Riverside, we built our onboarding process to give owners clarity, confidence, and full visibility into what happens during the first 90 days.

Whether your property is in Jurupa Valley, Riverside, Eastvale, Moreno Valley, or the surrounding Inland Empire, you can expect a guided and organized start that sets the tone for your long term results.

Below is a clear breakdown of what happens during the first 30, 60, and 90 days.

Key Takeaways

• Your first 90 days are focused on setup, stabilization, inspection, leasing or renewal review, and establishing dependable financial systems.

• Riverside owners receive photo supported SiteChecks, proactive maintenance planning, and weekly payouts.

• Whether you begin with a vacant home or one with a current resident, Formatic creates a custom onboarding path.

• Communication is predictable and transparent from day one.

Your First 30 Days: Setup and Full Property Understanding

The first month focuses on gathering accurate information, organizing your account, evaluating property condition, and creating a clear management plan.

1. Management Agreement and Account Activation

Once your agreement is completed, your onboarding team activates your owner portal. You receive access to:

• Your documents

• Your billing setup

• Your property notes

• Incoming updates and messages

This creates a central place for all communication.

2. Property Data Collection

We organize essential details including:

• HOA requirements

• Appliance lists

• Utility responsibilities

• Warranty and insurance details

• Access instructions

• Existing vendor relationships

This helps us manage your home accurately and eliminates confusion later.

3. Initial SiteCheck With Full Photo Report

A trained Formatic team member visits your Riverside property, documents its condition, and uploads a detailed SiteCheck with photos. You receive notes on:

• Safety items

• Wear and tear

• Repairs to consider

• Recommendations to maximize rent

• Market readiness and resident satisfaction indicators

This protects your property from the start.

4. Rent Ready or Renewal Review

Depending on whether your home is vacant or occupied:

• Vacant homes receive a full rent ready action plan.

• Occupied homes receive a resident relationship check and lease review.

This sets the direction for the next steps.

Days 31 to 60: Leasing, Maintenance Planning, and Stabilization

Once your foundation is set, we move into active management. This period focuses on leasing (if vacant), communication with residents, and ensuring the home is functioning properly.

1. Marketing and Leasing (Vacant Homes)

Formatic Riverside prepares your listing for the highest visibility with:

• Professional photography

• Industry leading ad syndication

• Precise pricing based on current market data

• Quick inquiry response times

• Thorough screening of applicants

Our goal is to place a qualified resident within four weeks once rent ready.

2. Maintenance Review and Vendor Coordination

If the SiteCheck reveals needed repairs, our team coordinates reliable, cost effective local vendors. Riverside owners receive estimates before work is approved.

This prevents deferred maintenance from growing into expensive problems.

3. Resident Relations (Occupied Homes)

For properties that already have a resident in place, we:

• Introduce Formatic as the new manager

• Review payment history

• Confirm maintenance concerns

• Establish communication expectations

• Perform a courtesy check on satisfaction

This helps us stabilize the relationship and reduce potential turnover.

4. Weekly Payout Setup

Your banking information is verified so you receive predictable weekly deposits every Thursday.

Days 61 to 90: Long Term Planning and Performance Alignment

As we move into the final phase of onboarding, your property transitions from setup into complete operational management.

1. Lease Enforcement and Renewal Outlook

By this stage, we have a clear picture of:

• Resident reliability

• Payment patterns

• Property condition

• Renewal likelihood

Formatic will share options to prepare for renewal, rent increases based on Riverside market data, or future turn costs.

2. Full Financial Reporting Structure

Your statements become more meaningful as multiple months of data are added. You receive:

• Organized income and expense summaries

• Itemized maintenance logs

• Receipts and invoices

• Tax friendly reporting formats

Everything stays accessible inside your owner portal.

3. Long Term Maintenance Strategy

To preserve property value, we outline items that may need attention over the next year such as:

• HVAC servicing

• Plumbing updates

• Roof age observations

• Paint or flooring timelines

• Safety compliance requirements

This planning helps reduce future surprises.

4. Performance Check In With Your Team

Your onboarding coordinator or manager meets with you to review:

• Wins from the first 90 days

• Any challenges encountered

• Management strategies moving forward

• Market conditions that may affect returns

This conversation wraps up onboarding and transitions you to ongoing management.

Our structured 90 day approach was built to eliminate common landlord frustrations such as:

• Unclear communication

• No documentation

• Delayed leasing

• Disorganized billing

By the end of the first 90 days, owners typically feel more confident, more informed, and more protected.
