About a landlord who used to managed their own rentals

"I was spending every weekend dealing with tenant issues."

A local Orlando property owner said when he came to us after managing multiple rental homes on their own.

They definitely had some challenges such as:
• Late-night maintenance calls
• Tenant turnover
• Rent collection issues
• Time-consuming paperwork that he was not even sure were in line with federal, state and local laws.


After transitioning to our professional management services we have been able to provide this owner his time back and he’s able to focus on other priorities, as we are now in charge of:

  • Streamlined operations with this rental homes
  • Faster maintenance response
  • Consistent communication
  • Collecting rent on time and
  • Periodically inspecting his properties to ensure the great condition.


Indeed, we often learn how many self-managing landlords find themselves dealing with:

  • Chasing late rent.
  • Screening applicants without missing warning signs.
  • Coordinating contractors.
  • Handling after-hours maintenance.
  • Keeping records organized for taxes and legal purposes.
  • Navigating difficult conversations with tenants.
  • Staying up to date on changing regulations.
