Managed with an investor's eye
AKS Realty Group is led by Srianil Peddi, a real estate investor himself, so we look at your rental the way an owner would. When a repair comes up, we assess the root cause and recommend long-term solutions over quick patches, even when the lasting fix costs more upfront, because it usually saves money and headaches over time. You always make the final call, and there is no markup on repairs: you pay exactly what the vendor charges.

Property management FAQ
How is property management pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the home and the services it needs, such as long-term or short-term (Airbnb) management. We start with a free rental analysis, then walk you through the management agreement before you sign, so you know how each charge works up front. Repairs are never marked up: you pay exactly what the vendor charges.
What do you handle, and how are repairs billed?
We handle tenant screening, marketing, online rent collection, emergency repairs handled as our top priority, regular inspections and monthly and annual owner reports. Repairs and other vendor work are billed at exactly what the vendor charges, with no markup. We share the vendor's actual invoice with you, and you can see it in your owner portal.
What does the free rental analysis include, and how long does it take?
We review your home against comparable rentals in the area and send you a recommended rent range within 12 to 24 hours. We also explain how we would prepare, market and manage the home. The range is an estimate, not a guarantee of the rent you will receive, and there is no obligation to sign up for management.
How do you handle leasing and vacant periods?
We lease homes any time of year. We prepare the home with move-in cleaning, take detailed photos and list it on our website and popular rental sites such as Zillow and Realtor.com. The number of days to lease depends on the home, its rent and the season. If a home is not leasing, we review the rent and marketing with you, and you decide on any change.
What do your rental inspections cover?
We inspect rentals regularly, checking items such as HVAC filters and the overall condition of the home, and let you know about anything that needs attention. When a repair comes up, Srianil Peddi uses his experience as an investor to assess it and recommends long-term solutions over quick fixes. You make the final decision.
How quickly do you respond to owners?
We respond to owner questions within 12 to 24 hours, including weekends and holidays. Emergency repairs are treated as our top priority: we get a qualified vendor out as quickly as possible and let you know what happened. Your statements, transactions and vendor invoices are always available in your owner portal.
Do you mark up repairs on Hoover and Greater Birmingham rentals?
No. AKS Realty Group never marks up repairs on the homes we manage. We get pricing from multiple vendors, look for the root cause and recommend long-term solutions over quick patches, even when the lasting fix costs more upfront. You make the final call, and the vendor's actual invoice is in your owner portal.
How do you screen tenants for my rental?
Every applicant is reviewed against the same written standards: income, credit history, past rentals, eviction and criminal records. We follow all federal, state and local fair housing laws.See our rental qualifications.
When are rent proceeds and owner statements processed?
By the 15th of every month, with rent proceeds deposited by ACH to your bank account. If there is ever a delay, we let you know upfront. Transactions, vendor invoices and monthly and annual reports are available anytime in the owner portal, and we answer owner questions within 12 to 24 hours.
I'm a Realtor or broker at another brokerage. Will you keep my client?
No. AKS manages your investor client's rental and sends the client back to you when they are ready to buy or sell. Your client relationship stays yours, and we keep you posted along the way. Visit our Realtor Referrals page or call 205-821-9683 to refer an owner.
Do you manage Airbnb and other short-term rentals?
Yes. Along with long-term leases, AKS Realty Group manages short-term rentals such as Airbnbs, so you can earn from your property without handling it yourself. Pricing depends on the home and the type of management it needs. Call 205-821-9683 or request a free rental analysis to talk through your property.
