For those homeowners who are interested in renting their homes to the market, they will find that there is demand for this. Many people are viewing rental properties in this area as a great investment since it is such an up and coming area. Being a landlord in the Baldwin Hills area does not have to be a 24/7 job. We have services that are meant to make this decision much easier to make as we handle all the work.

How We Can Help

We are a full service property management service. It is our goal to make the entire process of turning a home into a rental property easier for you. We first market this home to the real estate market in hopes of finding the perfect person to rent this. Once applicants are rolling in, we take the time to find the best one. We simply do not take the first person who applies, as we want this person to treat your home with the respect that you would treat your own home.

From this point, once a tenant has been found and selected, we handle the daily affairs of having a rental property. We become the point of contact for the tenant, allowing you to simply reap the rewards of having a rental property.
