Owning rental properties creates passive income and builds wealth, but managing those properties requires substantial time, expertise, and effort most property owners don’t have or want to invest. Our comprehensive property management services handle every aspect of rental property operations throughout Texas, from tenant placement and rent collection to maintenance coordination and financial reporting, allowing you to enjoy investment returns without daily management burdens.
Professional property management encompasses all activities required to maintain, lease, and operate rental properties profitably. Comprehensive management services include marketing properties and securing qualified tenants, collecting rent and managing accounts receivable, coordinating maintenance and repairs, conducting property inspections, handling tenant communications and requests, enforcing lease terms and policies, managing lease renewals and move-outs, providing financial reporting and accounting, and ensuring legal compliance with landlord-tenant laws.
Property management transforms rental property ownership from active, time-consuming work into passive investment requiring minimal owner involvement while maintaining or improving property performance and tenant quality.
Finding and placing quality tenants is foundational to successful property management. Our leasing services include evaluating properties and recommending optimal rental pricing, creating professional marketing materials with quality photos and descriptions, advertising properties across MLS systems and rental platforms, responding to inquiries and pre-screening prospects, scheduling and conducting property showings, processing applications and screening tenants thoroughly including credit checks, criminal background checks, eviction history searches, employment and income verification, and rental history verification, preparing Texas-compliant lease agreements, collecting move-in funds including first month rent and security deposits, and conducting detailed move-in inspections documenting property condition.
Quality tenant placement dramatically affects long-term property performance. Rigorous screening prevents problem tenants who damage properties, don’t pay rent, or require expensive evictions.
Consistent rent collection maintains positive cash flow essential to investment returns. Our rent collection services include providing tenants with convenient payment options including online portals, automatic payments, checks, and money orders, sending rent reminders before due dates, collecting rent on time each month, enforcing late fees and payment policies consistently, pursuing delinquent rent through escalating collection procedures, coordinating evictions when necessary for non-payment, and depositing collected rent into owner accounts promptly.
We also provide comprehensive financial management including detailed monthly owner statements showing income and expenses, transparent accounting of all transactions, annual tax reporting documents, online owner portals for 24/7 access to financial information, and coordination with your accountants and tax professionals.
Maintaining properties protects your investment value and keeps tenants satisfied. Our maintenance services include coordinating routine maintenance like HVAC filter changes, landscaping, and pool service, responding to maintenance requests from tenants promptly, dispatching qualified contractors and vendors for repairs, obtaining competitive bids for major repairs and improvements, overseeing repair quality and completion, maintaining networks of reliable plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trades, handling emergency repairs 24/7, and documenting all maintenance activities and expenses.
We use trusted contractors offering fair pricing and quality work while responding quickly to tenant needs preventing small problems from becoming expensive emergencies.
Regular property inspections identify maintenance needs and ensure tenants maintain properties appropriately. Our inspection services include conducting move-in inspections documenting baseline condition, performing periodic inspections during tenancy (quarterly or semi-annually), conducting move-out inspections assessing damages and normal wear, documenting property condition with detailed reports and photos, identifying maintenance or repair needs requiring attention, and ensuring tenants comply with lease terms regarding property care.
Regular inspections catch maintenance problems early when they’re inexpensive to fix, prevent major damage through deferred maintenance, and document property condition protecting your interests in security deposit disputes.
Professional tenant communication maintains positive relationships and addresses issues quickly. Our tenant relations include providing tenants with clear contact information and procedures, responding to tenant inquiries and concerns promptly, handling maintenance requests efficiently, addressing lease violations and enforcement issues, mediating neighbor disputes when necessary, and maintaining professional, documented communications. Good tenant relations encourage lease renewals, reduce turnover costs, and create positive rental experiences resulting in better property care and timely rent payment.
Managing lease expirations minimizes vacancy and turnover costs. Our renewal services include contacting tenants 60-90 days before lease expiration, offering renewal leases at current market rates, negotiating renewal terms when appropriate, coordinating move-outs when tenants don’t renew including move-out inspections assessing property condition, coordinating cleaning and repairs between tenants, returning security deposits per Texas law with itemized deductions if applicable, and promptly re-marketing vacant properties to minimize vacancy periods.
Property management involves complex legal requirements and liability risks. Our compliance services include using Texas-compliant lease agreements and addendums, following Fair Housing laws preventing discrimination, handling security deposits per Texas Property Code requirements, properly addressing maintenance and habitability issues, coordinating evictions through legal processes when necessary, maintaining proper insurance and ensuring tenants have renter’s insurance, and staying current on changing landlord-tenant laws and regulations.
Professional management reduces your liability risk and ensures compliance with evolving legal requirements you may not track independently.
Detached single-family rental homes are common investment properties requiring comprehensive management including yard maintenance, pool service if applicable, major system maintenance, and single-tenant relationships. We manage single-family homes throughout Texas from modest 3-bedroom properties to luxury estate rentals.
Townhomes and condominiums involve HOA coordination, shared building systems, and unique maintenance considerations. We manage townhome and condo rentals, coordinating with HOA management, ensuring compliance with association rules, and handling tenant issues specific to attached housing.
Duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes require managing multiple tenants at single properties, coordinating shared utilities and systems, handling neighbor issues between units, and maximizing occupancy across multiple units. We specialize in small multi-family properties where owner-operators often struggle with time demands.
Investors with multiple properties benefit from consolidated management services including consistent management across all properties, unified financial reporting, economies of scale in maintenance and repairs, strategic portfolio-level planning, and single-point-of-contact simplicity. We manage investment portfolios from a few properties to dozens of units.
Property management requires substantial time for marketing and showing properties, screening applicants and processing paperwork, collecting rent and managing finances, responding to tenant calls and maintenance requests, coordinating repairs and contractor scheduling, conducting inspections, and handling lease renewals and move-outs. For owners with full-time jobs or multiple properties, this time commitment is overwhelming. Professional management frees your time while maintaining or improving property performance.
Professional tenant screening dramatically improves tenant quality. We verify information owners often skip, identify red flags suggesting problem tenants, and apply consistent standards preventing discrimination claims while securing reliable renters. Better tenants pay rent on time, maintain properties appropriately, cause fewer problems, and renew leases more often, reducing expensive turnover.
Consistent professional rent collection and enforcement reduces delinquency. Our systems, payment convenience, and firm but professional enforcement encourage on-time payment. When tenants don’t pay, we follow proven collection procedures and coordinate evictions when necessary, minimizing lost rent.
Professional management reduces maintenance costs through preventive maintenance programs catching problems early when repairs cost less, networks of reliable contractors offering fair pricing and quality work, proper repair specifications preventing repeat failures, and quick response preventing minor issues from becoming expensive emergencies. Property managers also negotiate better pricing than individual owners due to volume relationships.
Well-maintained properties with stable occupancy and strong tenant quality maintain or increase value. Deferred maintenance, poor tenant quality, and vacancy erode property values. Professional management protects and enhances your investment value through consistent maintenance, quality tenants, and market-rate rents.
Property management involves legal complexity most owners don’t understand including Fair Housing laws with severe penalties for violations, security deposit laws requiring specific handling, habitability standards and repair obligations, proper eviction procedures, lease requirements and disclosures, and insurance and liability considerations. Professional managers understand these requirements, reducing your legal risk and liability exposure.
Managing rentals creates stress from tenant calls at inconvenient times, emergency repairs requiring immediate attention, rent collection challenges and difficult conversations, tenant conflicts and disputes, and constant demands competing with work and family. Professional management eliminates this stress while maintaining property performance.
Property management fees typically range 8-12% of monthly rent collected, varying based on property type, location, and services provided. For example, a property renting for $2,000 monthly with 10% management fee pays $200 monthly management fee. This fee covers all standard management services including leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, tenant relations, and financial reporting.
Additional services sometimes involve separate fees including tenant placement fees for initial leasing (often one month’s rent), lease renewal fees (typically $150-300 per renewal), eviction coordination fees if required, major project management fees for renovations or large repairs, and HOA violation fines if tenant violations result in association fines.
Management fees are paid only when rent is collected—if properties are vacant, no management fees apply. This aligns our interests with yours in maintaining high occupancy.
We begin by evaluating your properties including current condition and any needed repairs, market rental rates and income potential, existing tenancies if properties are occupied, and your management goals and expectations. This assessment informs our management strategy and recommendations.
We execute property management agreements outlining services provided, fee structures, responsibilities of both parties, procedures for maintenance approvals and spending limits, financial reporting and payment procedures, and termination provisions. Clear agreements prevent misunderstandings and establish working relationships.
We set up properties in our management systems including photographing properties and creating marketing materials, establishing owner accounts for financial tracking, setting up online payment portals for tenants, coordinating key management and property access, and establishing maintenance vendor networks.
For occupied properties, we transition existing tenants to our management including introducing ourselves and establishing new communication channels, reviewing existing leases and tenant files, and establishing rent payment procedures. For vacant properties, we immediately begin marketing and leasing activities to minimize vacancy.
We provide property management services throughout Texas including Houston metro managing properties from Inner Loop to suburbs, Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex serving diverse property types across DFW, Austin metro managing properties in growing Central Texas markets, San Antonio and surrounding areas, and other Texas markets statewide.
Property management quality varies dramatically between providers. We distinguish ourselves through rigorous tenant screening preventing problem tenants, responsive maintenance coordination protecting property values, transparent financial reporting and accounting, proactive communication keeping owners informed, local market expertise maximizing rental income, and proven systems and procedures refined through years of experience.
We treat your properties like our own investments, making decisions protecting your interests and maximizing long-term returns. Our goal is simple—maximize your rental income while minimizing problems, expenses, and owner involvement.
