02 /PROPERTY SEARCH TO RENTAL INCOME
A complete start for your property.
We research suitable homes in depth and recommend properties to prospective owners, often identifying off-market opportunities below market value. We act as an intermediary between the seller and investor; the investor buys from the seller, not from Movix. We set up a US company fully owned by the investor or investors, prepare the property for rental and coordinate its participation in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher programme.
We screen prospective tenants, review their history and conduct in-person interviews. Where repairs or renovation are needed, the external costs are agreed with the owner according to the work required. We carry out renovation, if needed, at competitive prices and with extensive experience. We prepare the file for submission to the local housing agency; approval remains the authority's decision.
Once the inspection and approval stages are completed, part of the rent is supported through the Section 8 program, which makes returns more stable and less exposed to market swings. The tenant leases from the owner, with a separate housing-assistance contract between the owner and the local housing agency.
