Still, have questions? Reach out and we'd love to chat.
We manage properties in the Portland metro and surrounding areas. We do not currently offer management in Washington State.
We currently manage over 250 doors.
We’ve been managing our own portfolio and other rental properties since 2015.
9.9% of gross rent for a single door, 8% of gross rent for more than one door (applied across all doors)
Other fees include:
30 days out, either side can terminate the contract. There are no termination fees.
The late fee varies, but is generally around $75. We keep any late fees.
When a tenant is late on rent, we turn into a “collection” agency for you. Retaining the fee reimburses us for our time and incentivizes us to get that rent collected faster.
We use an online portal called Appfolio that tenants use for rent, paperwork, and submit work orders through this portal.
When a tenant submits a work order, the work order goes directly to our in-house maintenance techs. We respond to any non-urgent requests within 24 hours with next steps.
Depending on the work order, we may call the tenant and try to troubleshoot over the phone. If we do not have to leave the office, you are not charged for this. If we do need to go on-site, maintenance is $50 per hour. Anytime we expect repairs to exceed $200, you are contacted and consulted on how we proceed.
We highly recommend you allow pets. We limit the animal’s weight to 50lbs and a maximum of 4 pets.
Pet rent is $25 per month per pet with a $400 deposit on the first two pets each and an additional $100 on each additional pet.
If you do not, or cannot allow pets, please note that you may be required to accept an Emotional Support Animal (ESA). ESAs are treated like medical equipment, so neither pet rent nor deposits can be charged.
All properties are listed on a number of rental websites. You can view a full list here. We also use yard signage, Rently for self-viewing, and Craigslist.
If the unit is rent-ready, it typically takes 2-6 weeks. During the summer, things tend to be on the quicker side and slower during the winter. We always provide a weekly leasing update, so you aren’t left in the dark during the leasing process.
No, we do not charge a minimum during the vacant period.
Please see our full screening criteria as well as our rules of residency.
Below are some of our requirements:
We have our leases expire in Spring and Summer, as vacancy is lower and rental amounts are sometimes higher. Depending on the time of the year, we offer 6, 12 or 18-month leases.
