  • Automated rent reminders before due date
  • Immediate follow-up on late payments

We handle the entire eviction process in compliance with local laws, keeping you informed at every step while protecting your investment.

  • Network of licensed, insured contractors
  • Competitive pricing through established relationships
  • Quality inspection of all completed work
  • Detailed reporting with photos and receipts

We obtain owner approval for repairs exceeding your predetermined threshold, typically $500.

Rental income is distributed to property owners by the 10th of each month via direct deposit or check. You'll receive a detailed monthly statement showing:

  • All rental income collected
  • Management fees and expenses
  • Maintenance and repair costs
  • Current account balance
  • Year-to-date summaries

You can also access real-time financial information through our online owner portal 24/7.

Can I still have input on my property decisions?

Absolutely! While we handle day-to-day operations, you retain final approval on major decisions such as:

  • Tenant selection (we provide qualified candidates)
  • Significant repairs over your specified threshold
  • Lease terms and rental pricing
  • Property improvements and upgrades

We provide expert recommendations based on our market knowledge and experience, but the final decision is always yours. Communication is key to our partnership approach.
