We Help You Find the Best Properties

Not every available home in Palmetto makes the best rental property to add to your real estate portfolio. Even if a home has everything a resident might want, purchasing a property without doing enough research can be a financial mistake. 

A local property manager helps investors conduct thorough rental market analysis to choose potential rental homes that make the most financial sense for their goals. Our research includes:

• Reviewing comps
• Comparing a property to similar homes on the rental market
• Analyzing costs for renovations to get a property rental-ready
• Estimating potential monthly rent and income vs. start-up and ongoing costs
• Reviewing location and amenities compared to what local renters want in a rental home

If the numbers don't add up to your success, we help you avoid a bad investment. Our team also keeps an eye on the market. When we understand your goals, we recognize when the right property comes along to add a profitable Palmetto rental to your portfolio! 

We Market Properties to Find the Best Renters

An excellent rental property won't rent itself! Putting a "For Rent" sign in the yard isn't enough. Whether you're local to the area or invest here from out-of-state, an expert Palmetto property management company helps minimize vacancy times and find better renters with a professional marketing strategy.

As long as your property stays empty without rental income, you lose money. If posting your available rental online hasn't worked for you, it's time for a better strategy. 

Our team applies the best dynamic marketing practices to reduce the time your properties stay empty. Professional marketing strategies include:

• Setting the best rental price (including raising the rent if it makes sense)
• Creating a property listing that includes critical details while telling a compelling story about your rental and the surrounding neighborhood
• Using professional photos to highlight your property's best features and stop potential renters from scrolling by the listing
• Posting to every major rental website to reach a broader audience
• Being available when potential renters are ready to view your property (including nights and weekends)
• Having a recognizable name that attracts quality renters when they see we manage your property

Having the best Palmetto property management company is a significant benefit when marketing your properties! Our name alone adds credibility and professionalism to your available rentals in the area—making your rentals more attractive to the best local renters. 

We Screen to Place the Best Residents

Attracting better-quality renters is only the beginning of placing the best residents in your rentals. Without a screening process, investors can trust that they know critical information about a potential resident before choosing them to live in a property. 

A thorough screening process helps investors uncover red flags that could signal a potentially bad renter. While you hope prospective renters provide truthful information on the rental application, it's critical to confirm that information with a background check. However, it's also critical to follow the law when screening all potential residents. 

A professional Palmetto property management company has the resources and experience to screen renters and protect your investment property business from potential lawsuits. Our process includes:

• A thorough rental application that follows the law
• Developing legal renter criteria with property investors
• Background screening, including employment and income verification, credit history, criminal history, prior rental history, and reference checks
• Staying up-to-date and following all anti-discrimination laws
• Processing data according to the Federal Credit Reporting Act (FRCA)

Investors don't have to worry about the quality of renters living in their Palmetto properties. You also don't have to keep up with current laws or worry about potential lawsuits. The right property manager protects your investments and chooses renters—quickly—without sacrificing the quality of who we allow into your rentals. Minimizing vacancy times with the best quality renters helps investors make more money! 

We Keep Your Properties In Their Best Condition

Finding the best properties and renters is an excellent start to investing in Palmetto! As with any home, without year-round care and the right approach to maintenance, your properties fall into disrepair—and your excellent renters become unhappy and leave. 

However, investors shouldn't spend time on DIY repairs or coordinating contractors to maintain their rental properties. Even if you're local, that's a lot of work! If you're an out-of-state investor or plan to one day move into your investment property, you need local help to keep it in excellent condition for renters and your future retirement. 

When you hire the best Palmetto property management company, you don't have to handle any maintenance tasks for your rentals. We do it all. Prioritizing maintenance is one of the best ways to improve property values, avoid expensive repair costs and property disasters, and keep renters happy. 

Our professional maintenance best practices include:

• Routine inspections to look for potential problems and keep an eye on how well your renters take care of your property
• Seasonal maintenance to make sure your rentals are ready for weather changes throughout the year
• 24/7 availability to receive and respond to renter emergency requests
• Prompt repairs from quality, vetted contractors to solve problems before they become worse (and reduce major repair expenses)

When renters live in well-maintained homes, they're more likely to renew their lease! Having a well-cared-for property year after year keeps it ready for you when you're ready to become a Palmetto resident. Quality rental homes with professional maintenance and management services attract better renters and boost your income!
