Best regards, CBE Property Management Better Tenants & Satisfied Owners Application Procedures, Requirements and Disclosures 1. Each applicant should have acceptable credit which will be verified through a credit reporting agency. We will require FICO scores. An adverse report such as delinquent accounts, unpaid judgments or prior evictions may disqualify your application. Any unusual or extraordinary circumstances should be explained in a cover letter in order to be taken in consideration. 2. Applicant’s employment and/or other sources or income will be verified. The most common way to do this is with a copy of your most recent paystub. If self-employed, we may require a year-to-date profit and loss or previous year’s tax returns. Length of employment, stability of pay, and type of work may be a factor in our consideration. We prefer a collective gross income that is three time the amount of the monthly rent. The amount of outstanding debts and the total monthly obligation of those debts will also be factor taken into consideration. 3. We require the contact information of your current and prior landlords. Any prior eviction, failure to pay rent or notices to vacate actions may disqualify the applicant. 4.Additional factors that may be taken into consideration include stability of residence history, frequency of moves, history of violent behavior and any criminal convictions for violent crimes. 5. We allow co-signers and guarantors. Each guarantor much complete an application and acknowledge that they will be subject to the payment of any financial deficiencies incurred by the occupant. 6. Each applicant must provide a copy of his or her driver’s license. 7. There is a $35 credit check per person if the applicant does not provide their own credit report that meets the standard of our organization. The fee is $20 for the credit report for each applicant. Only one credit report is required if the applicants are married. There is a $15 fee for CBE Property Management to process and review your application. This is non-refundable. If you provide an application and credit from another organization that is complete and current, there will be no fee. 8. Payment of the Security Deposit and First Month’s rent must be in the form of a cashier’s check or money order drawn from a local California Bank. There are no exceptions. Thank you.

Aggressive Property Marketing n Marketing: Since we are also a full service real estate company, we have every marketing tool at our disposal to give your property exposure to the widest audience possible. Some of the channels we use: • SoCal MLS • Rent.com • Craigslist • Pennysaver n Showings: We pursue all leads and inquiries promptly whether online, by phone or in person. We will schedule showings, meet prospective tenants or agents, and greet potential tenants in person weekdays, weekends or evenings. The “Better Tenant System” n After 20 years of managing income properties, we have made the following discovery: better tenants make more satisfied owners. To find and keep these tenants, we have developed a “Better Tenant System”. The five principles of this system: • Throw a Wide Net – Attract the greatest number of potential clients. • Consider Credible Credit – Use common sense to decipher acceptable credit. • Find Positive Cash Flow – Determine the capacity of a tenant to pay the proposed lease. • What’s the Story? – Why is the tenant seeking to lease your property? • Keep to the Contract – Let them know, we keep to the letter of the contract. 2 OurCBE Property Management Services Contract Execution n Once we have secured the best possible tenant, we will execute a rental contract. You first approve this contract before it is forwarded to the tenant for signatures. Our contracts are approved and authorized by the California Association of Realtors and are “bullet proof” in a court of law. Tenant Coordination n Before Move-in: Once contracts are signed and there is an agreed upon move-in date, we will coordinate that event. We collect the first month’s rent and security deposit with cashiers check. n At Move-in: We jointly conduct a walk-through with the tenant and mutually agree upon the condition of the property. It will be documented with digital photography and a 5-page Move In/Move Out Condition form. Keys, remote controls and association information (if applicable) are distributed to the tenants at this time. n After Move-in: We assist the tenant with paying on-line and the best way to contact us in the case of an emergency. We also assist with the transfer of all utilities. Lease Collection & Disbursement n We collect the rent per the terms of the agreement and disburse the rental proceeds in the manner instructed by you on a monthly basis. n In the event the tenant does not pay on time, we serve the “3 Day Notice to Quit or Pay Rent”. n If the tenant does not pay the rent in the contractual time, we coordinate the unlawful detainer action to remove your tenant using the eviction experts at our disposal. Expense Management n We pay the monthly bills you assign to us and deduct any expenses associated with the upkeep and maintenance. For any expense in excess of $250, we will secure 2 bids for service. n We continually look for vendors willing to do the same work for less money without sacrificing quality. Annual Inspection n At least once a year, someone from our company will inspect your property with the tenant in attendance. We wish to accomplish the following with this inspection: • Make certain there are not additional tenants at the property who are not on the lease, or pets now at the property not agreed to in the lease. • Ask about issues the tenant may not have disclosed. • Look for opportunities of preventative maintenance. 3 OurCBE Property Management Services Accurate Accounting n With your monthly proceeds check you will receive a monthly accounting statement detailing any distributions. n We will provide you with a year-end accounting summary or your account and 1099’s. Ongoing Property Maintenance n We provide our tenants with 24 hour contact information. n We reduce the cost of repairs and maintenance due to our extensive network of contractors, vendors and handymen. n We make recommendations that will not only improve the value of your rental, but also the value of your property should you decide to sell in the future. 4 Compare Us to the Competition Compare Your Property Management Company There are a number of property management companies who would be glad to assist you.

Here are some questions that are frequently asked of us by new clients. Of course if you have questions that are not addressed below, please feel free to contact us at (714) 529-1988. Q: Who does the actual marketing of my property? Q: Who determines how much to ask for the rent? A: Our sister company, Coldwell Banker Excellence will be the responsible broker for the marketing of your property. Coldwell Banker Excellence is a full service real estate brokerage with all the tools and marketing expertise. A: We will recommend an asking price for your property, and use our marketing skills, real estate experience and a rental analysis to determine a price. Ultimately though, the rental market itself decides the monthly rent with the interest and offers from prospective tenants. Q: Who pays for the marketing of my property? A: There is no cost to the owner for the marketing of the property. We pay for signage, MLS, and various internet services. If you agree, you may pay another agent who brings a tenant through a “fee” service such as the MLS. Q: What does it cost to put my property up for lease? A: It costs nothing. We are paid a percentage of the monthly lease payment once we have secured a tenant. Q: What is typically involved in preparing a property to be rented? A: Tenants expect all major systems to be operating condition, all health and safety issues to be addressed, and the property to be ‘move-in’ ready. This may include painting, carpet cleaning, interior cleaning and minor repairs. Q: Is there a cost to process the tenant’s application and draw up the lease? A: No there is no additional cost. This is part of our service. Q: How are the tenants selected? A: We use our “Better Tenant System” which uses a screening process that analyzes credit, income, rental history and most importantly, we listen to their “story”. Q: Who pays for repairs and maintenance during the tenant’s stay? A: The owner typically pays for all maintenance and repairs. For any repairs under $250, we pay these immediately. Any repairs over this amount must be approved by you and we must obtain a minimum of two bids. Q: Are management fees deductible on my tax returns? A: Check with your tax expert, but generally our fee is tax deductible. 6 NEW CLIENT MANAGEMENT APPLICATION 7 CLIENT INFORMATION LAST NAME DATE OF BIRTH FIRST NAME DRIVER’S LICENSE NO.
