We manage rental property across North Atlanta through OppoMax Management USA, Inc., the management company I run alongside the TJS Team at Keller Williams Atlanta Partners. I am Tina Jingru Sui (隆静儒), Associate Broker and Team Leader, licensed in Georgia since 2019.
I own rental property myself. Every policy on this page is one I live with on my own doors before I ask an owner to live with it.
We work in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and a meaningful share of our owners have never seen their Georgia property in person.
We publish our fees. Most management companies do not, and you should ask yourself why.
Rent is due on the first, with a five-day grace period written into our lease.
Owner disbursements go out between the 8th and the 10th of each month depending on how the calendar falls, and typically land in your account two to three business days after we send.
You get a Buildium owner portal. Statements, disbursement history, work orders and property activity are all in it, available whenever you want them rather than whenever we get around to sending them.
Rent pricing based on actual leased comparables, not list prices. Listing, photography and syndication. Showings and application handling. Tenant screening against written, consistently applied criteria. Lease preparation and execution on Georgia Association of Realtors forms. Move-in and move-out condition documentation. Rent collection and owner disbursement. Maintenance coordination at cost. Owner statements through Buildium. Lease renewals and rent reviews. Notices and, when it becomes necessary, coordination of the dispossessory process with counsel.
Single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and small multifamily renting at $1,600 a month or above, across Gwinnett, Forsyth, North Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Hall counties.
Tenants submit every request through the Buildium portal, which means each one is timestamped, documented and visible to you. Nothing depends on someone remembering a phone call.
We respond to maintenance requests within 24 hours. Vendors are scheduled from there, and you see the work order and the invoice in your portal. The invoice is what you pay — we add nothing to it.
This is a large part of what we do, and it is built into how we work rather than bolted on.
You will never need to be physically present. Documents sign electronically. Condition reports arrive with dated photography. Your portal is available from any time zone. We communicate in whichever of English, Mandarin or Cantonese you prefer, including on WeChat.
Two things owners abroad regularly get wrong, and we raise both before they become expensive:
We apply one written standard to every applicant, in the same order, every time. That is both a fair housing requirement and the only way an owner can be confident the decision was made on the merits.
Our full written qualification criteria — income standards, documentation, credit and rental history, occupancy limits, pet policy and deposit tiers — are published in full so applicants and owners read exactly the same document.

We adhere to the Fair Housing Act and Georgia law. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, familial status, or any other class protected by law.
Georgia landlord-tenant law changed materially in 2024, and owners who last rented a property before then are often working from rules that no longer apply. This is general information, not legal advice.
Every one of these is handled as part of management. We mention them because an owner should understand what is being done on their behalf, and because owners who self-manage are often exposed on several of them at once.
We are a brokerage and a management company under one roof. The person pricing your rent is the same person who can tell you what the property would sell for, because we do both every week.
Licensed in Georgia since 2019, with a Master of Real Estate Development from Clemson University. The TJS Team is ranked among Georgia's Top 150 agents by sales volume by RealTrends Verified and The Wall Street Journal. 206 Google reviews with a 5.0 average.
And we own rentals ourselves. When we say a repair is worth doing, it is because we would do it on our own property.
What does property management cost? 6% of collected rent for ongoing management, and 75% of one month's rent to place a tenant. Maintenance is passed through at cost with no markup.
Do you mark up repairs? No. You pay the vendor's invoice, and you can see it in your portal.
When do I get paid each month? Disbursements go out between the 8th and the 10th and typically arrive two to three business days later. Rent is due on the first with a five-day grace period.
How do I see what is happening with my property? Through your Buildium owner portal — statements, disbursements, work orders and activity, any time.
Is there a minimum? Yes, $1,600 a month in rent.
How do you decide what my property should rent for? From leased comparables — what similar properties actually rented for and how long they took — not from asking prices. An overpriced listing costs more in vacancy than the extra rent recovers.
Can you manage a property I did not buy through you? Yes.
I live outside the United States. Can you still work with me? Yes. Signing is electronic, reporting is photographic, the portal works from anywhere, and we work in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
How much can I collect as a security deposit in Georgia? No more than two months' rent, for any lease signed or renewed on or after July 1, 2024.
What happens if my tenant stops paying? Our lease allows a five-day grace period. Beyond that, Georgia requires a three-day opportunity to cure before a dispossessory action can be filed. We handle the notice, the documentation and the coordination.
How are maintenance requests handled? Tenants submit through the Buildium portal so every request is timestamped and documented. We respond within 24 hours and schedule a vendor from there.
Tell us the address and what it currently rents for, or what you think it should. We will tell you what we would list it at and what you would net.

Thank you for your interest in our properties. Our qualifying criteria is outlined below. Please read these requirements thoroughly prior to application. Application fees are non-refundable.
APPLICATION DOES NOT CREATE A LEASE. Your application, even if accepted, shall under no circumstances be considered a lease agreement between Applicant and Landlord, or an offer to lease. No lease shall exist between Applicant and Landlord unless and until the parties enter into a formal Lease Agreement with required signatures and Applicant pays all required fees, security deposit, and reservation deposit.
AUTHORIZATION. By applying, applicant authorizes Oppomax Management USA, Inc. to verify background, credit, employment, and rental history. If any required documents are missing from the application process, applicants may be immediately denied.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. O.C.G.A §10-6A-6 requires brokers to present ALL offers to lease to the landlord/owner. The landlord/owner reserves the right to accept the best offer based on economic considerations. These considerations include, but are not limited to, the move-in date of the applicant, the rental rate offered by the applicant, any concessions requested by the applicant, and the creditworthiness of the applicant.
Applicants’ net monthly income must equal to or exceed 3x total rent. Occupant guarantors must show a gross monthly income equal to or exceeding 5x total rent.
Required income documentation:
Tenant Qualification Requirements
Applicant Screening
A background screening will be completed on all applicants to verify credit worthiness. A credit report will be obtained on all applicants to verify credit ratings. Income plus verification of credit history will be entered into a credit scoring model to determine rental eligibility and security deposit levels. This credit scoring model will include positive and negative payment history for lines of credit, usage of credit, credit history, credit availability, and inquiry history.
Unfavorable accounts which will negatively influence this score include, but are not limited to, collections, foreclosures, charge-off, repossession, absence of credit, and current delinquency. The rental score is determined from an analysis of information found in each applicant’s consumer credit report, application, and previous rental history.
Our application process also includes identification verification (which can be sent via text or uploaded), income verification, criminal background check, and rental history verification. Applicants with no FICO score may be considered with a qualifying Georgia resident guarantor with a gross monthly income of 5x total rent, payment of 1.5 months security deposit, and a minimum 680 FICO score. Applicant must also complete an approved credit application.
In today’s competitive marketplace, it is common to have more than one application on any given home. In this instance, the landlord will choose the best suited applicant based on qualifications. If your application is not selected, you may still be qualified for another Oppomax Management property of similar price range, with no additional application fees required for 60 days.
Please note, application fees are non-refundable in the event of multiple applications received on any home regardless of the outcome.

The agents of Oppomax Management adhere to the Fair Housing Law (Title VIII) of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and the Fair Housing Amendment of 1988, which stipulate that it is illegal to discriminate against any person in housing practices because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, familial status, or any other class protected by law.
All documents and information you submit as part of the application process are kept private and confidential. We take your privacy very seriously.
Any falsification in Applicant’s paperwork will result in the automatic denial of the application as inconclusive and deny the right of future occupancy. If an Applicant falsified his/her paperwork, the Landlord has the right to hold all application deposits and fees paid to apply toward liquidated damages. Falsification of application is also grounds to terminate the lease regardless of when the falsification is discovered.
The information provided in the application as a result of the authorization given herein by the Applicant will not be sold or distributed to others. However, Landlord and Landlord Agents may use such information to decide whether to lease the home to an Applicant and for all other purposes relative to any future lease agreement between the parties including the enforcement thereof.
Completed application(s), even if accepted or approved, shall under no circumstance be considered a lease agreement between Applicant(s) and Landlord.
Open bankruptcies will be cause for automatic denial unless a court letter of dismissal or discharge is provided. Dismissed or discharged bankruptcies that appear on the applicant’s credit report may be considered. Any rental debt that has been waived due to a dismissed or discharged bankruptcy may result in a declined application.
It’s the law! We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or familial status.
