A La Carte Services

We can provide a la cart services to investors / property owners. >>Just needing a unit leased up?  As long as there's a minimum $1200 rental income, we can accommodate. >>Need someone to post a 3 day & appear in court for the 1st cause?  I can provide that service as well. >>Inspection (POS, city, etc), water leak detection, or appraisal walk thru?  I can coordinate that. >>Did the tenant move out but left trash behind, a massive clean up, floors and walls that make you cringe?  We can tackle those jobs. There are other options as well and I'm more than happy to have that conversation with you. --The only exception is maintenance services...we are committed 200% to our owners who utilize ALL of our services (mgmt and leasing up vacants).  Any maintenance in an a la carte situation must be over $1200.  Our 1st priority is our current owners.

Socks Plus

I found out about the Community West Foundation's Socks Plus initiative about 3 years ago.  Community West Foundations is similar to the United Way.  While it works on a much smaller scale than the United Way, I'd argue it has just as much impact as the United Way, if not more.  They have several initiatives where funds are pushed out to.  Some donations are specific as to which organization will be the beneficiary.  In other cases where donations are not designated, those funds are allocated to the organizations this foundation supports.  Many of these organizations that are beneficiaries are organizations you've heard before. •      Beyond the Walls Food Pantry •      Building Hope in the City •      Catholic Charities Office of Migration and Refugee Services •      CHN Housing Partners (Water Champions) •      Drink Local Drink Tap •      Greater Cleveland Food Bank...

Just what does a property manager do?

At the end of the day, my goal is to make your properties run efficiently.  This is largely due to the shear volume of the # of units I manage. Communication:  It's true...it's a 2 way street.  There are many people I talk to in any given day (yes, 7 days a week).  Tenants, owners, contractors, inspectors (city and otherwise), appraisers, etc.  I traditionally respond to emails in the evenings.  I respond to text messages sooner.  I try to answer phone calls as they come in; calls that go to voicemail I try to respond back the same day. Maintenance Issues:  do you feel you're nickle and dimed by your handyman when he bills for each and every individual task he does?  As much as we can, we consolidate work based on task or location.  We're much more effective when we can prioritize portfolio wide.  Spring clean ups at several different properties, turns and trash outs at several different new vacants.  Several work orders in a 6...
