As both a licensed broker and accountant with tax-strategy expertise, he serves owners managing one unit through portfolio-scale holdings.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:24px;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#0a3d62;\">How much does property management cost in Puerto Rico?<\/h3>\n<p>Tenant placement only is typically a one-time fee equal to one month&#8217;s rent, paid when the lease is signed. Full property management runs 8-10% of collected rent for most PR markets. Five Star offers all three tiers \u2014 placement only, screening + placement, and full management \u2014 so landlords pick what fits their level of involvement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:24px;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#0a3d62;\">How long does it take to evict a tenant in Puerto Rico?<\/h3>\n<p>Eviction in Puerto Rico typically takes 3-6 months once filed, due to court calendar pressure and required notice periods. Self-help evictions (changing locks, removing belongings) are illegal. This is why upfront tenant screening matters more in PR than in many mainland states \u2014 a bad tenant is expensive to remove.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:24px;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#0a3d62;\">Can Five Star help me find Act 60 tenants?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Five Star also represents Act 60 buyers (mainland US relocators using Puerto Rico&#8217;s tax incentive program) and these clients frequently rent for 6-18 months before purchasing. When your property fits \u2014 typically Condado, Ocean Park, Dorado, Palmas del Mar in the $3,000-$15,000\/month range \u2014 we connect them directly. This pipeline is unique to Five Star.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:24px;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#0a3d62;\">What&#8217;s the average vacancy time for rentals in Puerto Rico?<\/h3>\n<p>Rental properties in San Juan metro and other PR markets average 74-94 days on market between tenants. The vacancy rate runs around 12.3% across the island. Professional tenant placement and Act 60 buyer access typically reduce time-on-market by 30-50%.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top:24px;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#0a3d62;\">Do I need to be in Puerto Rico to use Five Star&#8217;s services?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Five Star manages properties for many mainland US owners and Act 60 investors who don&#8217;t live on the island. All communication, monthly statements, maintenance coordination, and tenant interaction is handled by our team. You receive monthly reports and direct deposit of rent net of fees.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- CONTACT CTA --><\/p>\n<section id=\"contact\" style=\"background:#0a3d62;color:#fff;padding:60px 24px;text-align:center;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:2em;\">Talk to Harry<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:1.2em;max-width:700px;margin:16px auto;\">Free consultation.
